Pros:

Location. My room faced the beach.

I was virtually sleeping among the sand dunes. The sound of the surf at night was a roar.

Cons:

Room size. Including the ensuite, it would have been 3 X 2.5.

But to compensate for that every inch was made comfortable. And interesting.

Very pleasant stay with direct view of ocean and lounges and hammocks to enjoy the sounds and smells of the ocean.
Pros:

Fabulous location right on the beach and easy walking distance to cafes and shops.

Cons:

The small steps from the lounge into the kitchenette and from the kitchenette into the bathroom. Real toe stoppers.
Security and air flow and view could be enhanced by installing shutters.
