Upon arrival, our room was sold a second time, I heard that there is no room where we paid for a delux room. Not nice service, no contact with the management or the owner, I did not even hear sorry. I had to look for another hotel ...!

Very noisy
The premises next door played thunderous house music until 2am. Impossible to think, let alone sleep. Staff uninterested in providing any service.

The facilities were absolutely horrible. The rooms were dark and dingy. My took my family and looked for a new hotel immediately. The staff, however, was very friendly, and the food service was OK. I would definitely never go back or recommend it to someone else.

I enjoyed the direct access to the beach and the food was good and the staff went out of their way to accommodate. The negative was the old dingy facilities with bad wifi service. Probably would not repeat.

Basic accommodation in a rustic setting. On the beach, which means direct access to the ocean, and seeing the ocean from your room... The staff is super nice.

Hotel on the beach
Amazing place.... Peter the owner is welcoming and friendly. You are treated like family. Rachel the waitress was very good and always was attentive to your needs ... always showed a smile. Best thing though was the view.... wow... Try the pizza .... best I have ever had!

Basic - reflects price, but great location.
Double booked on the first day, but they sorted out alternatives nearby and threw in extras to compensate. We were happy with that. Very basic place but reflects the price. Great location - room on the beach. Loved it.

It is amazing what you get for such a small fee. Right on the beach with a big breakfast. All day coffee and tea. Towel and soap. The staff are so kind and helpful and attentive. Even though we thought our room was going to be on the beach it didn’t matter because it was just such a great down to earth stay. With such affordable drinks and food. I would definitely stay again.
