Acceptable Stay with Some Drawbacks

warm roomdistant location
The room was rather warm upon arrival. No one had closed the curtains, so the sun heated it up considerably. I also found the location further from the center than I thought. I should have checked that detail more closely.

fantastic accommodation experience

perfect locationeffortless check-incomfortable accommodationstock replenishment
The guesthouse location is perfect for a short walk to the beach and town. the owner quickly answered his mobile, and check-in was effortless. the accommodation was very comfortable. I would most definitely stay again. i found larger rooms are available.
I noticed the room was not made up. Stocks of tea and milk were not replenished. i never met anyone at the place, nor had any contact other than a text on arrival details. i was very confused.
