The place is not at all like the pictures. One of the dudes who works there slept on the couch in our room. The rooms are dark - not at all like the bright and cheery spaces on these site. My email questions went unanswered. I get it’s a hostel, but there is a level below which is tolerable.
Parking was tough. I had to park about a mile away and Uber back.
Bikini Hostel discriminates, based on age I guess, because they refused to allow me to stay even though I drove 3 hours to get there and prepaid for week using orbitz.com.. I told the ahole front desk person to expect lawsuit but don't feel like the time, just avoid this scam and don't believe the pictures, it is a dump.
Jorge & Cherie were awesome.... Very hospitable! There is not a pool anymore, although staff said we could use the one a few hotels down. Hot tub was clean and worked well. There was also a pool table, ping pong, and outdoor jenga.
dont even soend your money .... TERRIBLE! the staff was friendly but rooms smells terrible and you had to share..: EW!
Hostel was quite okay, stayed in better ones and stayed in worse ones. What made the Hostel so great was its amazing staff. A special shoutout goes to Atif and Hailey, who made my stay really great! Thank you guys!
I booked a room for 7 people and they said I have to split my party into 2 groups with 3 in one room and 4 in the other, and sharing with other people as well. We didn't stay at the hotel and really unhappy about this experience.
The most complain is about the manager Jose, with a poor communication skills and paranoia, I saw him kicking people out from both staffs and guest for no reason but just because he thought of something, makes the stay not enjoyable at all. No I don't recommend staying at this hostel at all even for the cheap price, pay couple dollars more and stay somewhere else.
The staff are not friendly specially the manager Jose, he asked people to leave the hostel from the staff and the guests for no reason, he is just paranoid which makes the experience to be there not enjoyable. There is a bar in the hostel which you can't bring your own alcohol. Over all I won't recommend staying at this hostel even for the cheap price, not worth any money.
very good hostel. nice place. good location. very good price. excellent place
I was here for 3 weeks in January and also been here couple years ago. The rooms have their own bathroom with a bathtub, they have a kitchen where you can cook food and the hostel is right near the whole foods. I like the place, would love to stay again in the future. Thank You ― Rahul.
Staff unprofessional Room not as they advertised Mattresses wore out and dirty
45 seconds and I was walking out, filthy, smelly, nasty, you get the idea
The lobby and out door areas are nice. But the room could use upgrades the bartender had a bad attitude also
The first night they have to take care of a drunk guy that was taking and screaming garbage and and get it out off the room.
Horrible. Absolutely Horrible. Terrible. Absolutely Terrible.
The occupants next door were awfully noisy, loud music, and use of foul verbiage all night. Did not sleep comfortably on bed that squeaked with every movement and sunk in the center. The walk to the beach was more serene nearby.
Very nice and helpful staff, beds could be nicer but for the price can't complain
I just needed a place to sleep for the night on my drive up to central Florida and Bikini Hostel provided that. Great place for a single / group budget traveler. I felt save - police patrolling the area - and that translated into a good night sleep.

Dear Customer, Your reservation was a last minute booking and the house was almost sold out. We sell beds, you bought 7 beds not a entire room. When you arrived you was mad because you booked 7 beds in a room with 9 beds in the last minute. We did not have the same room to everyone. In our Expedia page said: Guest should note that this property cannot guarantee that guests stay in the same room when requested. Reservation are made per bed, rather then per room.
Thank you for your feedback ;)
