    Everyone at the hostel was incredible - the owner, Brian, as well as the friendly volunteers and staff. There were great food promos each day, generous happy hour times and prices, and the AC at night was an absolute lifesaver. I felt extremely...

    Staff and the vibes at R2B are great. Rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. The bathrooms were a little unclean at times but overall very good value for money. Youre a little outside of the center but right on the beach which is great!

    Had some issues with my credit card upon my arrival. The staff handled it the best way possible, and we sorted out a solution. The location is prime, and the vibes inside the hostel are very chill and welcoming.
