    A perfect rustic setting on the beach. Our airconned bungalow was great for 2 adults 2 children. The swimming pool was warm and the restaurant just set back from the beach.

    The whole property was excellent, built and decorated with good taste and respect to the environment. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. It was a very peaceful place on the beach. The pictures in the site underestimate the beauty of the hotel!
