Modest dorms & private rooms in a relaxed beachfront hostel offering surf lessons & an eatery/bar.
I visited Jetsam and had a bit of a mixed experience. The food itself was decent, but the pricing felt a little steep for what was, at its core, a fairly simple dish. As for the service, it leans more toward a self-service setup. Orders need to be placed and paid for at the main bar, and you also have to return there to claim your food.

Spent a night at Flotsam & Jetsam Hostel and it’s easily one of the best beach party experiences I’ve had. The place itself is already a vibe even before the party starts, you can tell it’s something special.

We handled things on our own, which made the experience feel disorganized and frustrating. Drinks were pricey, and the cocktails didn’t match the quality of those I've had earlier in the Philippines. Most guests seemed to focus on enjoying their drinks rather than talking with others.
