Beautiful property with very kind and helpful staff.
Pros:

The view and the staff are incredible.
Other reviews said the food was great, I thought it was just okay.
The tuk tuk service back and forth to town was great and an added benefit.

Cons:

I stayed for four nights and left exhausted. I couldn’t sleep, the walls are very thin. I had someone above me one night coughing all night. Every night the resident cats got into a fight, the dogs that live on the beach barked and howled early in the morning every day, and the neighbors rooster started crowing at 3am and didn’t stop. Those things are not the fault of the property but it made it impossible to get a decent night sleep.

Цена не соответсвует увиденному
Pros:

Понравилось расположение отеля, прямо у берега... открываются прекрасные виды... отличный завтрак.

Cons:

То что не предупреждают о том что напитки в холодильнике платные, очень пыльно.

Pros:

La vue de la chambre Vue sur mer est incroyable, voir magique. Les petits déjeuners sont excellents et copieux. La chambre est spacieuse, propre avec un petit frigo et tous les équipements nécessaires, même adaptateurs. Service de tuk tuk gratuits. Le personnel de l’office nous a fortement aidé et propose service de linge, expédition, transport en van et location en scoot.

Cons:

Les chambres ne sont pas assez isolés du bruits, si vous avez le sommeil léger vous serez réveillé à 5h du matin par le bruit constant des coqs. Pensez donc à prendre des boulquies ;)

Séjour exceptionnel avec une vue magnifique.
Pros:

Très beau logement avec un vue magnifique et un coucher du soleil exceptionnel !
C’est propre, confortable et très bien équipé.
Le personnel est agréable et nous avons eu droit à un jus de coco frais de bienvenue 🥥.
Le petit déjeuner est excellent.
Un gros plus c’est un service de tuktuk disponible gratuitement et rapidement pour se rendre à Townsquare ou pour revenir à l’hôtel à n’importe quelle heure avec un simple message WhatsApp !!

Cons:

Malheureusement nous avons eu beaucoup de mal à dormir pendant deux nuits successives à cause des aboiements des chiens du voisinage mais le problème a été réglé la 3ème nuit.

Ok for a short stay
Pros:

It is just by the sea, nice view from the restaurant. We liked the terrace since the room was so small it was good to have it

Cons:

Didn’t really like the room, it was small and outdated. There is no shade on the beach, it would be great if there were some sun beds and umbrellas
