10/10 Excellent
"Die Klimaanlage ist in einem Schlafraum, jedoch kann man sie geschickt mit zwei Ventilatoren in die anderen Räume umleiten.Wir waren zu dritt fünf Wochen dort und fanden es ganz toll dass wir eine Reinigungskraft zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen und nicht zu weit abseits, so dass man in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß ins Ortszentrum und auch zum Strand laufen konnte oder eben ein Tuk Tuk oder Aluguer nehmen konnte. Alles Gute und vielen Dank"
