Cheers Backpackers is a clean and lively place to stay. The bar and bbq area is fantastic and provides a great place to socialise. The pool and spa area, surrounded by beautiful palm trees, provides such a relaxing atmosphere that there is no need to even leave the hostel! All staff are extremely friendly and obliging. After reading prior reviews I think some people need to take into consideration that Cheers is a backpackers hostel not a hotel or resort, and for a hostel it's damn fine!!!

Although I want to remain anonymous, what I write is honestly true! (Just cause that crazy drunk owner may still remember me) A friend and I worked there for about a month... We were responsible for keeping the rooms clean in return for free accomidation, and I gotta admit what people write about the rooms are true! We just swept the dirt under the beds and moved garbage into other rooms... I mean HEY! They hire backpackers as roomkeeps what do you expect! This is no Four Seasons we're talking about! Let me tell you! There is some serious shady stuff going on there (if you needed "anything" it wasn't hard to find)... They did hook us up with some "under the table work" which was cool... and for partying there was no better place. If your looking for a spiritually enhancing atmosphere (see the movie: the beach) you've gone to the wrong place.

If you're looking for "fun" in a pool, well you've found the right place! Oh the fight? Can't say cause he'll remember if he reads this... but he dragged me out of a club and tryed to fight me for a little accident I had on a club crawl! (I'm sure he's tryed it with others) Wish I could be more specific... (email me for details) My review is this... If your really "backpacking" looking for a cheap place and some great stories to tell your kids one day... check out this place out... I don't regret staying here.. I met some great friends! If your anal about clean rooms, need quite spaces and can't put up with a few inconviences, don't backpack around australlia! Cause you'll get this kind of thing anywhere! I wish you all good travels and great experiences!

The only good part of Cheers were the people that I met staying there. The beds are horrible. The might as well not have a mattess. The showers were gross and you feel like everyone can see in. The beanches are uncomfortable. Do not be fooled by their brouchure, it is not as nice as it says

I felt I didn't stay long enough just 3 days. There was alot happening with pub crawls & Shooters nights. I was in a 4 bedroom dorm with 3 others. All though sleeping on the top bunk there was problem with access from the bed to the floor. The Showers were good & so was the bar but in the Pool Comp. they did play Killer.
