Reviews and Ratings
This place truly feels like a private paradise, with adorable bungalows nestled in a camp-like setting. The beachside bar and restaurant are a major highlight, offering great food and drinks. The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is laid-back. However, the lack of enough towels is a downside, and those who aren't on the beach should be prepared for a short walk to enjoy the stunning views.
I had a great time at this hotel with its fantastic beach access and affordable kayak rentals. The rooms were comfortable, though a bit dated, and the staff was genuinely kind. However, the bathroom could use some updates, and it’s essential to buy bottled water since tap water isn't recommended. Overall, it offered excellent value for the price.
