Funky Monkey Hostel

In a quiet residential suburb about 1.2km from the beach, this facility-packed hostel makes a fine place to hang out, with a kidney-shaped pool, two kitchens, hammocks and rooftop fire pit that enhances nighttime storytelling. Private rooms are en suite and come with a kitchen, while spacious fan-cooled dorms benefit from memory-foam mattresses. Surfboard rentals and free bikes.
