If you're looking for a budget hostel, right on the ocean, this is a great place.
Kaya's is full of amazing art and has such a relaxing vibe.
The owner is a great man and always stopped and spoke with us when he saw us. His son is adorable.
They have a dog, Leia, who walks freely around the hostel. Is she very friendly and calm. There is also a kitty, Ralph, who is a huge suck. He will roll on his belly to get belly rubs.
The room we stayed in was small, but it worked. We mostly spent our days out and about in the town. Our nights we spent on the sitting area, outside our room, on the hammocks.
The food was tasty, but the kitchen staff was slow. The ladies who worked the front desk were great in arranging us taxis when needed.
Now for a few downfalls:
1. When we booked, we were given one price. When we received the confirmation email, we were given a different (but cheaper) price. I emailed them back to confirm this price and asked if it included taxes. I was told that yes, the price was correct and included taxes. When we checked in, it went back to the original price. When I spoke with the lady at the front and showed her the emails, I was told that Jennifer had made a mistake and there was nothing she could do.
2. Our shower was advertised as a hot shower, but we didn't get any hot water. However, most of the time the cold water was welcomed, especially since we didn't have an air conditioned room.
