Could be better !
Clean room , basic amenities and friendly and helpful staff. However in one of the days from the night till morning, we don’t have water supply to the sink or toilet to brush teeth or flush toilet. I need to resort to the water in bathroom for those activity. We feedbacked to the staff before our departure and hopefully it will not happen to others.

Very clean and great location
One thing sticks out about this hotel - it's VERY clean! Staff on site are always there to clean up. I liked the free filtered hot/cold water unit. They have security staff in the evening and there's always a staff around in the day time. Feels quite safe as there is only one entrance. Nice decor which is very fresh and relaxing. Room was spacious. They also have liquid shampoo and body wash in dispensers - nice! Better than struggling with small uneco friendly small tubes. Friendly staff. You have to pay for a second pillow if you want one. They were happy to provide a few more hangers for free.
Great location - just a minute walk to the beach where you can see turtles feeding.
A nice touch with 'origami' folded towels.

Great stay!
The staff was amazing and very helpful.
The room was clean and the staff did an excellent job of keeping the hallways free of dirty and sand.
The beds are quite firm and you are only supplied with one pillow each, although we never asked for more, I’m sure they would have accommodated.
The AirCon and Wifi were both excellent but the water pressure was sometimes lacking.
Very close to the beach and plenty of restaurants. Saturday night there was a live band at the Pacita's Disco Bar just down the lane way which was loud but put on an excellent show and gave a good nightlife vibe.
The staff arranged 1 excursion for us and it was excellent, although our driver was 25 min late, that was to no fault of the hotel it self.
Would highly recommend staying here.

The property was conveniently located along the path next to the beach. Couple of minutes walk to the sardines!
The place was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I would have stayed longer, but it was all booked up.

Avoid this place!
Avoid this place. I booked a king size bed and got a double. Had zero water!!! Couldn’t even shower. No phones in the room to call the front desk. Bathroom stink of sewage coming up. Bed was hard and only had 1 flat pillow each. Won’t be going back here again.

First time checking in here and this property did not disappoint.
This humble space has accommodating and warm staff, you will love them. Hot spots like cafes and beaches are just a few minutes away either by walking or renting a motorcycle.
This place is laid back, peaceful, and very chill. But they take cleanliness seriously. You'll know when you get here.

A major disappointment
I do not recommend this hotel. There are a few notable reasons for the negative experience:
1) the shower barely worked so you had to use a bucket
2) you couldn't wear your shoes so you had to use the same slippers everyone else uses for their feet to enter your room (or go barefoot). It was not sanitary. Why not provide new slippers to each paying customer?!
3) worst of all, they seemed to totally forget about the tour we booked with them. We started late for our sea turtle and sardines tour. As a result, we could not see much because the seas became rough and reduced visibility to 4-5 feet. They also didn't communicate that you don't need a permit for snorkeling off the beach where you can see sea turtles and the sardine run. In the end, they just made me overpay to rent a boat to see a medicore island off of Moalboal that provided no value. Very unethical and unhelpful staff.
Do yourself a favor and book at a better hotel. This one does not deserve the positive reviews it has received.

Place was great! A touch of Santorini with beautiful ambience. Safe and secure, and the staff were awesome! I even left my deposit but they found a way to reach me and give me back my money, so kind of them. I definitely recommend this place.
