“Backpackers In Paradise caters to a younger, social crowd with its lively pool area, bar, and planned activities; the staff seem dedicated to creating a fun atmosphere. While some find the budget-friendly prices appealing, be aware that cleanliness and noise can be issues in shared spaces and that it enforces a strict no BYOB policy. It's a mixed bag best suited for those prioritizing socializing over pristine conditions.”
