Great location right on the beach with the sea just metres away. Cosy social area with laid back vibe and nice music, shared fridge and kettle, hammocks and cushioned chairs half on half off the sand, coconut trees right beside. Nice verandas Free use of paddleboards and snorkels /masks. Tasty breakfasts. Friendly staff.

I found the upstairs bedroom of our 2 room space ‘The Penthouse’ so problematic it spoilt the stay. Had to clamber up awkward and steep stairs, emerge through a hatch then semi-crawl under low eaves, trying (unsuccessfully!) not to hit my head. Room couldn’t be secured at night from the inside, toilet was through other downstairs room which also didn’t secure from the inside, light-switch (for a bulb too dim to read by) was out of reach of the bed. The open layout of this room meant reliance on the mosquito net; switching light out and using loo at night was a real mission! Paper thin walls meant loud music, chatter and clunk of pool table balls from bar next door till late.

Amazing location right on the beach. Loved being in the local community watching daily life of the people who live there. Nice to have filtered water to refill water bottles & make our own coffee.

Needs a lot of upkeep - furniture is tired & not maintained. Cushions are dirty. Only sheets on the beds, a thin throw/bedspread not washed between guests. Shared kitchen is actually not accessible - they use it to make meals, there is a tiny fridge that’s accessible but also used for refillable water bottles. Our door (patio door) had a horrible squeak that wasn’t fixed till our last day & it was not lockable from the inside - only a padlock thru a rusted hook & eye from the outside & the toilet “ran” our entire week. The only toiletries provided was watered down hand soap. Only 3 wooden loungers on the beach area. And we found the food & drinks overpriced.

Location View AC worked fine

-Can’t lock the door from the inside so everybody could enter when you sleep -Bed linen had stains -The second room upstairs is basically unusable, door was open when I arrived, bed was dirty with leaves etc. and it seemed like there is living a rat family (at least I could hear the squeaky sound and walking) -Asked to be picked up at the pier to help with my luggage, was assured someone will help me, told them my arrival time and in the end nobody was there -Water was gone many times, the owner told me it‘s an island problem but surprisingly it worked everywhere else I went
