While Away Hostel Restaurant And Bar
Description
Eggs on toast, coffee and a five-minute stroll to Long Beach set the tone at While Away: cheap beds, useful breakfasts and no need to launch a logistics expedition before noon.
The dorm setup covers the basics properly. Beds have plugs, curtains and lockers, with drinking water and hot-water facilities downstairs. Air-conditioning runs overnight in the AC rooms, so daytime is better spent on the beach, in a hammock somewhere, or pretending you meant to be out all along.
Om and Bank are the useful part of the address. They sort transport, point you towards island routes that do not waste half a day, rent scooters, and occasionally turn a fishing trip into lunch. The place also has a bar and weed-shop edge, which gives it a looser backpacker feel than the polished resorts up the road.
Pick it for Long Beach access, a social low-cost base and local island advice with actual detail behind it. The four-bed dorm is the better call for travellers who want a smaller room.
