Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt okay, doch ich würde nicht mehr hinfahren.
Pros:

Das die Liebe Pria für mich sehr lecker gekocht hat.
Die Matratze war gut.

Cons:

Es ist alles ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen, von daher etwas abgelebt.
Leider auch keine komfortablen Sitzmöglichkeiten.
Es gab kein selbstverständliches Wasser, was ich bis jetzt, die letzten 3 Wochen reisen, immer umsonst dazu bekam.

Lovely accommodation in great location
Pros:

The accommodation was clean and bright. It had a nice hot shower although this did wet the bathroom floor when used. We removed the duvet from the cover in order to sleep at night without the air-conditioning on just using the fan which was a win-win for a peaceful night and the environment! The apartment had a porch with comfortable furniture and was surrounded by greenery so we had birds, birdsong, squirrels but also some mosquitoes! The accommodation was within an easy walk of the main road which had a supermarket, bakery and fruit and veg shop. It was also a short walk from the beach where we had free use of the sun lounges at Hawaii. We had very good meals out in the evening at both Hawaii and Blue Sands where they had tables on the beach in the breeze keeping us cool as well as the insects away. Elena was fantastic and helpful with everything.

Cons:

It would've been really nice to have a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool and make food last a little bit longer.

Pros:

Tout...L'accueil, la disponibilité, la gentillesse, le professionnalisme, et j'en oublie...d'Elena, notre hôte. Elle assure pour ses clients du matin au soir, c'est du jamais-vu...! La chambre, superbe...aménagée au raffinement, même les fresques florales sur les murs peintes par ses soins. Des petites attentions partout, le sac de plage avec ses serviettes, le petit meuble dans la salle de bains en rotin avec les minis serviettes, le savon liquide... et tout cela plein de couleurs délicatement choisies...un vrai plaisir. Petits déjeuners proposés très variés. Un magnifique jardin arboré avec de l'ombre partout et allées entretenues tous les matins. Ne passez pas à côté de ce petit bijou à 150m de la plage par un petit chemin sablonneux. Nous avons adoré Elena et son charmant hôtel.

Cons:

RIEN...!

Pros:

Elena is a very friendly host who took the trouble off organising our snorkeling trips. The rooms were nicely decorated in cute light colours. And the beach was only a minute away

A convenient location for the beach and restaurants and a nice garden and veranda.
Pros:

Good location very close to the beach, lovely veranda when it rained!

Cons:

There was no ventilation in the bathroom. It was advertised as having a pool but the pool wasn’t available and it wasn’t safe to swim in the sea in February - wrong season.
