vibrant marine life

enjoyable experience

rusty fridge

thin towels

aged decor

I had a great time staying in a beachfront bungalow for 8 nights. The location provided stunning views and easy access to the beach, while the vibrant marine life made snorkeling amazing. the fridge in the kitchen needs replacing as it was showing signs of rust. Despite this, I found the overall experience very enjoyable.

fantastic snorkeling

limited breakfast variety

The beach is just steps away from your

room, providing stunning views and easy access. The snorkeling was fantastic, with colorful fish right off the shore. Sadly, the breakfast could use more variety, particularly in fresh fruit and bread quality. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making our stay memorable, and the location was peaceful yet close to a 24/7 grocery store.

This place suits me perfectly, with beach access, a lovely outdoor pool, and sun loungers. The staff were kind, especially to my old parents. Don't miss the Sunday BBQ! I'm coming back for a romantic escape.

stunning views

Couples' Dream Vacation

Arriving to our beachfront bungalow was a game changer the views were stunning and right off our deck was soft sand leading to the water. The BBQ night was to die for with the best steak I've had in ages and they had this great dessert that just completed the meal.

It wasn't inexpensive but given the beautiful setting it was still reasonable.
