I don’t recommend this place. You can find better places for the same amount
Pros:

Is a very poor place. The price is very expensive for what you get. They should publish the toilet pictures. That’s the worst part of the room.

Passable
Pros:

The staff were great, and this place has a lot of potential to be amazing.
However, the comfort and cleanliness definitely let them down.
I hope next time I'm in Aragum Bay, this place has ironed out the flaws and is the success the staff deserve it to be.
The location is great, and they will hook you up with the best tuk tuk driver in the area MS.
