I don't think The Salty Pelican is for everybody. This is just a snap shot of my experience. I think most of the guests would-be there for Yoga, meditation or surfing. All of the guests I encountered were very friendly and the host who checked me in was very nice and helpful and host who checked me out ( I think her name was Zanda) was also very helpful and organised a taxi for me. I think the Salty Pelican is ideal for younger demographic ( 18 to 40 ) but if your older you might prefer not share bath, shower and toilet. I'm guessing seasoned solo travellers might be used to sharing but it wasn't for me. I can't fault the Salty Pelican for cleanliness but I would ask them to maybe make sure the rooms they rent out are as mosquito free as possible because after my night in Salty Pelican I had many mosquito bites and because of that I checked out without breakfast. For me, one room with no sink, shower or toilet, with a price tag of 84 euro plus 2 euro tax was too expensive. The check in time is 2pm to 4pm and check out next morning is 11 am.
