Very good bungalow for that price! Next to the beach, but some bungalows are more in the front and some more in the back.

Most of the pictures should be quite old. Despite all the romanticism of the location... it is run down with a maintenance backlog and careless. Loungers and chairs at the stand are at risk of injury because they are broken, we cleaned the terrace at the bungalow ourselves, the electrics and refrigerator are rusty . Fits into the picture that the owner is unfriendly, disinterested and almost arrogant. What's left is... lucky to have only booked one night. The only good thing is the location. Stay away from this place

I liked it, there was hot water, a refrigerator, and unobtrusive service. I don’t know who wrote about the hum from the generator: we lived on line 3 and only found out about it when we read the reviews. You can’t hear the generator, and in general it’s very quiet, only the birds sing. The signs with the rules in the room are strange. The owner and his wife are just wonderful, thank you 😊
