"I LOVED THIS PLACE. I’m so glad I found this place and chose to stay here. It’s minutes to the beach and it’s so safe to walk around at night. I’m a solo female traveler and there was never a moment I felt unsafe. I booked the room with hot water and honestly, I could’ve been ok without because I used the outdoor bamboo shower to rinse off the sand and the water felt amazing. The property is so cute ! The breakfast was delicious. They have a bar and restaurant and the food is great if you choose to have a night cap there, if not, plenty of great restaurants steps away. I used the pool and it was so cute. There’s a convenient store couple doors down for water and drinks. They close the gate at night so it’s secured. The staff were all so friendly and happy ! I’m going to come back and stay here again. Thank you staff !"
