The location being the quiet end of Fisherman's Village is very handy, the people very friendly, the grounds are lovely. This end of the beach, however, is not as nice as further west. We had a beach bungalow, but couldn't really see the beach, so... The criticisms: the bed was absolutely terrible, springs poking, impossible to get comfortable (this is like what you would expect in a backpacker hostel), and so creaky/squeeky that every time one is us rolled over, we both woke up. Very little sleep! (And anything else would've woken the neighbours!)Be warned as well, the hotel was nearly completely pitch black when we returned at 8:30pm, so carry a torch/flashlight. Also the one lighting option in the room is 4 very bright spotlights (no dimmer) or nothing. There are no lamps. This could be an amazing place with a bit of an update. With a better bed and some ground lights, it could be perfect for families.

Real disappointment and I don't like writing negative reviews. We had booked the 2-bedroom room for 3 nights but stayed only one, for many reasons.|First, the online photos seem to be outdated. …

Good bedding! The bedroom is located on the ground floor in a quiet area... the bathroom is very spacious and the toilets are slightly separate. …

What a great place to stay. Tucked away and quiet, but right on the beach and just at the end of Fisherman's village. Great place to relax and get away from the world. Great views of the beach and ocean. What a great staff! We enjoyed both the stay and getting to know the people (staff and other guests) here. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a low key, relaxing, great vibe.

The small and cute atmosphere and location in front of the sea were quite good, but the water pressure in the shower was so weak that it was unusable. Also, the water drainage was also bad. This is the only place I felt it was worth the price. But overall, the pool was easy to use. Great to be able to check in early 😃
