Great location, amazing staff, friendly, laidback atmosphere, plenty of beautiful animals (cats and dogs). If you are looking for good vibe more than a super comfortable room this is the place for you.

Amazing location. The whole hotel premisses were beautiful and felt like everything was carefully thought about. All the small touches, like flowers and candles on the tables made it even more outstanding. Staff and the host was very friendly and attentive. Room was nice and clean, with private bathroom and spacious storage.

Ceiling fans weren't working. 2 per room in both rooms. We were given replacement standing fans though :)
Excellent views from the balconies outside of rooms and also from hammocks etc. Direct access to beach. The food is very well made. All the waiters we had were very helpful, well trained and friendly.

Perfect “dream beach life” location for the yoga enthusiast, those who like to chill and read a book on the hammock or those who prefer to socialise with others with a glass of wine, cocktail or excellent beer. The staff are the loveliest people willing to help you with any requests and making your stay there the time of your life.

The hotel is corporate with kind of beach boys and this is very annoying,they coming to your room all day asking if you want massage. The breakfast was average and basic (got black banana etc) The BBQ party cost 30,000 (per person) and was not worth the money.
The room was big and clean.

They do some buffet during the Friday and Sunday parties, but the price is quiet high and there is not enough food for everybody. Also I would not recommend the cocktails. The manager doesn't look as warm as the other members of staff, and you could definitely spot he was a manager from the first day..
The staff is warm and they go the extra mile, always looking to please you. Always feet in the sand, amazing view, sleeping with the sound of the waves, waking up with sunrise and having to walk only 10 meters to be on the beach, what else can you expect from holidays

There are some small inconveniences like bolts instead of door handles and loose fittings but all the good far outweighs this so not an issue.
The location is great and the hotel is right on the beach. The room we had was a good size for three people and staff were really helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommend staying here - we didn’t see anywhere else along the beach that had such a relaxed and easy vibe.

What a great little beach front hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, the food is great and the location is outstanding. Every room has a sea view and is on the beach. The area is quiet and we spend our four nights relaxing and walking up the beach. Definitely worth a visit!
