There is only air conditioner in bed room and we opened windows not realizing flying bugs came in after daylight. Water came out at the bottom of shower room door during shower and make floor so skippy and dangerous. Apart from the above, the property was okay.

Pleasant, comfortable stay, across from beach
We had a very pleasant 2 night stay here. We booked a studio unit at the roadside (with beach on the other side). The views were wonderful and the studio very spacious. The small kitchen allows for some cooking and there is a free washing machine and powder available. Walk into the main part of town is about 5 mins. The unit also came with a baby Weber BBQ.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We found the property very basic with certain items expected not provided e.g. tissues, ironing board and iron. The bathroom area was very cramped without even a not even a reasonably sized hand basin. The location was very good and the lady running the establishment was very helpful. From our experience with other accomodation we felt this was overpriced.
