Lovely location is beautiful nature setting with very friendly staff
Pros:

- location (3 walking minutes to the beach)
- very friendly staff
- incredible proximity to nature, especially forest animals

Cons:

- due to heavy rain the sewage system sometimes left behind an unpleasant odor
- in our 4 breakfasts, during which one picks a themed breakfast plate of the day that will be brought to the table, we weren’t told that there is actually a breakfast buffet behind the bar

Beautiful beach just wish the stay was as good
Pros:

Nice hotel with lots of greenery & decor.
Beach is beautiful.

Cons:

Didn’t think the rooms were kept as clean as I would have liked. Dead flies not cleaned up, hot tub never filled up, was below the jets before we left. Shower always had sand in it. Gave coffee making equipment but the smallest amount of coffee. Not enough for 2 people.
The staff weren’t very friendly. One lovely lady at breakfast & one we were scared of!
Stayed in way better places for less money.
