I really enjoyed my stay at sandbank, I only booked 3 days there because I thought sleeping in a tent might get old quickly but I could easily have stayed
The staff quickly realised I was on my own and encouraged me to take kayak and snorkel at heavily discounted prices.. Like I actual felt bad when I heard the real price
They even let me go along with them on the grocery trip by boat to the main port and I saw such a beautiful sunset it was amazing.. They even both me beers while I waited for the grocery purchasing
All this in a place costing $4 a night, it was unreal
The food was great, I just had fruit and cashew pancakes for breakfast with a watermelon juice and it was amazing.. Then I just had veg stir fry in the evenings and it was $3.50.. Fantastic
The beach is seriously amazing, I couldnt stop taking photos, and the guy who welcomed me to the hostel couldn't have been more helpful
WiFi was strong and reached my tent, but may not reach all of them
Shower and toilet facilities basic but all good
I think my only criticisms were a bit of noise from other bars, but we're about as far from the culprits (malibu apparently) as possible.. So can't help that really
And security is a bit difficult because the tents don't lock, but luckily my bag has a wire mesh that I can padlock to the bed so I lived there without fear
Overall this place is cheaper than other places on longset beach and is either better or equal to its competitors
