Great

Shared Dormitory · 1 Adults · 3 Nights

I had a great stay. Location is perfect as I only did walk going to my booked activities such as sky diving and scuba diving. Only thing they need to provide is table at least inside the room as I was forced to put some of my food on the floor. I asked but they cannot provide anything. Even a foldable table would be valuable amenities inside the room. Thank you!
