Beaches is a great place to meet new people, it has a fun and exciting vibe. There is a bar next to the hostel, it holds games and cheap drunks so its a great place to relax and not spend to much money. When you check into the hostel you get a half price meal, the meals are a reasonable size and have a lot to choose from.

Beaches is situated on the Main Street opposite the lagoon and beach, so it's in a perfect location.
I stayed here twice both times in a 8 person dorm. It was clean and large, it also looked over the bar.

The staff are more than friendly and was willing to help with anything, this made my trip much more enjoyable. Unfortunately I fell unwell and needed medical attention, the staff not only helped me they were willing to try and take me hospital. The hospital is 40 minutes away, luckily I managed to get the bus in the end.

I would defiantly recommend this place if anyone was passing through or off to the Whitsunday's. The only two criticisms are if your planning on leaving baggage with Beaches, while your doing the Whitsunday's they charge $6 to leave your bag. The only other criticism is the hostel is a dry hostel, this means no drinking within the hostel grounds. The criticisms haven't put me off and I will return as the staff are more then welcoming.
