The staff is absolutely phenomenal, and made the hostel feel at home immediately. My room was super clean and cozy, the back deck and view with hammocks is incredibly beautiful, the office and lounge space is ideal for work and rest and the hostel is in the most ideal location. Nevertheless, the staff team is definitely the best part about Beach Bungalow. Be prepared for a warm blanket of wondrously infectious energy and good juju from them.
Chris was an awesome and diligent surf coach, whose diamond surf technique I will carry with me always. Al and Jordan have radiant hearts of gold, whose mere presence will remind you of the best qualities in humans, specifically kindness, love and humility. Anthony is a super cool dude who will make you chuckle a lot and is sneakily a KILLER CHEF. Cam will send you on the holy path to raw açaí at the rum jungle acai place next door. Bev has the most caring and gentle smile. Overall the staff will ensure your stay is comfortable and truly incredible, as if the hostel location right in front of the beach and great amenities and overall design isn’t enough.
