“Could be a great hotel but just needs a bit of TLC”
Location great as quiet but near to places to eat as long as you have a vehicle. Staff very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed.

“I liked it and would go back”
It's a very relaxing place with a nice pool. Staff is pleasant. Parking was plentiful. The bed was very comfortable. The property was nice and breakfast was good. The area is rural as one would expect. The road the property was a bit narrow by American standards, especially for a 2 way road. It was fine for my Jimny

Overaly our stay was very pleasant. The staff there, especially Tatiana was really helpful. First they cancelled one night for us, as I did the wrong booking, gave us a kettle when needed. Than she took over the bday cake for my boyfriend, let us stay after official check out hours. The surroundings are beautiful, the pool is refreshing and clean and the yoga space is really nice for movement. The beach was really close.

“Nice little eco resort with good food close to a semi-private beach.”
The food was tasty and made with very natural ingredients. The proximity to the beach and away from all the dust from the main road. The secluded feel. The keyless room entry. The availability of drinking water.

“Find somewhere else if you can, it feels like a tired old motel trying to cut corners and make some cash.”
The room was clean apart from the big red ants we kept finding. Bikes available to cycle to the beach (but not further as they’re in bad condition). Breakfast was good but a bit sparse.
