    Breakfast was tasty and a great portion. It's located in a secluded area which makes it the perfect spot to relax. Very calm and quiet. The room was big and spacious, the beds were comfy and the pool was perfect.

    Property location is directly in front of the beach, although there is quite erosion the palm trees in the property protects and gives a sense of a private beach. Also liked how the bathroom space is very big and you have place to hang wet clothes...
