Great peaceful compound, but I was lucky to get in - having booked and paid for a nonrefundable room on Expedia the day before, on arrival they didn't know anything about it and said they were sold out. After about an hour they resolved it. My double room small cottage was rustic but very clean - no bugs or anything similar. Pool was great - there was a sign requesting 250 to use it but I was never asked to pay. Bar area relaxing, and the cabanas and sunbeds around it are plentiful and welcoming. I'd come again.

Quaint little escape

Very relaxing place, very friendly staff. A little slow, but they hurry if you speak with them. Very close to the beach. Govt should pave the roads outside this and local complexes.
