The rooms, situated in a well-maintained garden, have fans and mosquito nets. Each room has its own bathroom and a small veranda. There is also a shaded common area and a simple shared kitchen. It's a small, sweet boutique establishment. The price is reasonable considering the surroundings.

Highly recommend! Will visit again

Great location and great value for money in this intimate yet close to everything place. As a lone traveler I felt safe and had a great balance of quietness and interaction with fellow tourists and locals. Roxana's recommandation on places to eat and what to do were excellent. I also enjoyed shopping and time at the hair salon for a cut in the village center.

Great little gem

We only had time to stay a night here. Very relaxing little gem. Breakfast was superb, really great eggs and bread. Fan rooms with mosquito net (we didn’t get any bites when there, even when sitting out) Roxanna messaged us plenty of activities to do while we were there and gave us taxi number which was much appreciated.
