Great location with lot's of charachter and a great staff that made all arrangements for us including tours. The location way down the Strand is what made it special, but also a little ways away from town. Their dedicated Tuk Tuk driver was awesome and easy to schedule, which eliminated that problem...

Super friendly staff. Gorgeous view. It’s a bit run down, but for the price it’s really good. A little far from the Main Street, but they offer free rides in and out which add everything very accessible and easy. Would definitely recommend

I stayed here for 5 days and had a great time. They have free transportation to town or tours. Right on a very nice quiet clean beach. If you are a foodie you can walk to Carly for an incredible meal as well. Thanks Ulle!

I had read alot of reviews which almost pursued me not to stay here. Yet I tried anyways and Im so happy I did.
Although it is dated its a gem of a place.
The rooms were very clean, the pool was great and not to mention the views are phenomenal.
As far as transport: they def provide transport to the main square. For a small fee they will drop you at your request a bit further.
The staff was lovely and very accommodating.
Its close to some amazing food spots. Mine was Fuego for the burger and chicken eaters
For the athletic there is a gym in the town square. This was a birthday stay and it was an amazing one.

I had one of the worst experiences in this property mainly because of the horrible customer service. Big waste of time and money. Avoid booking this place at all costs !

Quiet, ocean front, simple, but perfect.
Although an older hotel, its location is quiet and it has the best pool overlooking the ocean. The staff are really lovely and it was a wonderful stay.

The views were incredible the staff was outstanding especially Ulli who has the smile of an angel. The rooms were priced very reasonable. The room I had was without a view on the lower level and could use a little updating but it was only used for sleeping so no big deal. The owner is very protective of his guest, by this I mean I had a pickup scheduled and somehow or another there was a delay. The owner drove down to the pickup location on his motorbike and made sure I was taken care of. That was service over and above.

Great location! The hotel is on the beach side so you’re able to catch amazing sunrise/sunset views. The staff was very nice and super helpful in accommodating our needs and coordinating breakfast each morning as well as the island hopping tours. The breakfast was good..The rooms were good..a little rundown but for the price, it’s worth it! Overall, we were all satisfied with our stay and would recommend. They also provide roundtrip transportation from the airport.
