“Beach getaway”

9.0

09 Jan 2025

Please read the reviews before coming here so you’re not shocked when staying. The location was excellent and literally on the beach. The beach can get a bit hectic with all the big tours coming in but then it quietens a lot again early morning and in the evenings. They had a few dogs around and they were just the sweetest and definitely kept you entertained. The bar had great drinks and the music was good! Good tours available to see the bioluminescent plankton and the raccoons in the mangrove. I loved chilling by the hammocks. Mosquito nets are also provided

The accommodation is simple but charming and this is a very friendly place in a beautiful spot on the beach. The staff/family who run it were exceptionally friendly and helpful and they serve good food and are relaxed and helpful.

Amazing hostel just at the beach. Very confortable and perfect to live the island experience. Staff is very kind and helpful. You can do the tours with them with less people and cheaper. Food and drinks at the bar are really tasty and big quantity. Totally recommended.

A really good beach house with lovely hosts, good food and an amazing location with hammocks, sun beds and tables and chairs to enjoy. Vladimir and his wife really make the place what it is, the food and drinks at the bar are reasonably priced and tasty (amazing cocktails) and they will also help to organise the plankton tour as well as a 3 in 1 mangrove, snorkelling and fish feeding tour- all reasonably priced. A great place to stay and just relax in the sand and sea.

Beautiful location right on the beach. Food was great, and staff really friendly. Bed also massive and very very comfortable. It is basic but they do basic very well, so it’s very reasonably priced.
