Great location, variety of outdoor places to hang out, outdoor area was aesthetically pleasing, cute little geckos everywhere, super helpful and friendly staff, kitchen had enough dishes and supplies to actually cook in, suitable for traveling with kids, decent laundry station (handwash your own) with available laundry lines, seems a bit of a community hub
Two fans for 3 beds wasn’t enough - we were able to get a third fan so it ended up not being a problem after the first night. The smell of the sargassum at night was pretty intense - proximity to the beach is both a plus and minus.

Centrally located in Hopkins, which I booked to be near the Garifuna cultural center. Very great value, plenty kitchen space, hammocks, helpful staff, accept (US) Visa payment, ample bathrooms and showers, solid wifi, comfy beds with a curtain provided, authentic restaurants/food spots and grocery stores nearby. The fans help during the day.
Can't really think of anything, the place met all my basic needs for a hostel.
