Был ранний заезд-без проблем встретили и заселили в 6 утра. Находится не на береговой линии, но до океана 3-5 минут. Рядом куча ресторанчиков, напротив магазин с продуктами. Немного расстроили 2 тараканы, которых увидели в 1 день, убили их и больше не встречали. Отель очень рекомендую!"

"We were warmly welcomed by the staff. The accommodation is not in the middle of the city but in a quieter location, that suited us perfectly. The accommodation borders a long, beautiful beach that leads you to the Surf paradise. Lovely outdoor shower in our cabana. Worked well with the fan mosquito net. Good service with everything from food, bikes, washing clothes. Very nice and accommodating staff. We appreciated the accommodation so much that we chose to book another night. Lungy and nice....
