All private rooms include a patio / sitting area with a day-bed where you can relax. All rooms feature luxury mattresses, linen and private modern bathrooms. All dormitories feature air-conditioning and personal lockers with attached modern bathrooms. JJ's is a phenomenal hostel. It's a relatively big hostel, but the facilities are super clean and comfortable, and the wifi is great. There is also a fantastic vibe at the place (also partly due to the size) so there are always people around who are up for doing something fun. The volunteers are also great and really add to the place - there is yoga every morning and at least 1x group activity organised every day. Merissa is also a perfect place to base yourself if you want to visit other beaches along the coast. I would highly recommend!
