The hostel has a communal kitchen that guests can use to prepare their own meals, and several apartment-style accommodations that have their own kitchen. There are several convenience stores just a couple minutes walk away, and two major grocery stores in Coxen Hole, about a 10 minute taxi ride away. Fresh made tortillas? No problem, we have someone that can prepare an order for you. If you're feeling too lazy to cook, there's several options for eating out as well. If you're feeling adventurous, ask us about local dishes such as land crabs or tapado :) If you like fruit, there are many tropical fruit trees in the neighbourhood, including banana and plantain trees in our yard, tons of mango and cashew trees on the beach road, as well as hog plum, sea grape and guava trees.
Local Comedores
Conveniently located a 5 min walk from the hostel, turning right and then right again at the paved turn-off, there are several 'restaurant that doesn't look like a restaurant' comedores that sell typical local food, and have no sign or name.
Head through the little cut through across the road next to Sonrise Calvary Chapel, turn right, and you'll come to Elizabeth's convenience store. On the same property, Samona's also sells plates of food, and the cooking is amazing, and inexpensive.

Other Sandy Bay options
Head left on the main road for about 15 minutes, and you'll see several restaurant choices on the other side of the road. The Beach Grill is known for their smoked meat and has a $10 fish fry on Fridays, and live music on Thursdays, Sunken Fish has live music on Fridays and Papa Bones is a pizza place that has a good crowd on Sundays. Cafe 314 about a 5 min walk to the right when going out to the main road, with coffees and desserts as well as a/c and fast wifi, Los Corrales Restaurant has meat specials and Dragonfly offers excellent sushi, both located at Coral Stone, about a 10 min walk to the right of the hostel.
West End Dining
If you're over in West End and want a bite to eat, there are tons of options available. The Drunken Sailor has great pizza and Italian dishes, Cannibal Cafe has a good selection of vegetarian options too, like burritos and quesadillas and Tita's Pink Seahorse is popular choice at the very far south end of West End on the beach just a bit past the end of the road. Rotisserie Chicken. is another good choice . Sundowners also has a few dinner options available, if you've stopped there for happy hour and are having too much fun to leave.
West Bay eateries
West Bay is a bit pricey for eating out, but there are some yummy options if you're spending the day on the beach. Probably the best pricing is at Totally Tacos, on the little side lane running between West Bay Mall and Bananaramas. They also give hostel guests $1 off each taco order. Celeste's, which is located just next to the main road in West Bay, offers great food. If you'd prefer to find a place right along the beach, Thirsty Turtle at Bananarama is a fun place to hang out, and has food and drink specials on Sunday, as well as live music, crab races and firedancers. Beachers has some reasonable pricing, and you can use their lounge chairs, bathroom etc if you're eating there.
