Perfect spot for a beach vacation. Room was ideal with big bathtub and shower. The living room and access to the porch added to the experience. Breakfast was exceptional. Great find. We would like to visit again.

This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed in during this trip. The suite had everything in it and was incredibly comfortable. The area on the second floor was amazing and the views of the dolphins were fantastic.

Location was perfect. The upstairs lounge was just down the hall from our room so we felt like we were staying at a friend's house. Perfect location to watch the sunrise without going outside.

It was locally owned, smaller guest home that had amazing staff, family friendly and extremely accommodating after having to change dates last minute due to a flight cancellation. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a secluded but elegant home environment.

Amazing stay
On the beach guesthouse was an amazing experience. The rooms were beautifully appointed and the views were even better than we hoped. Breakfast was excellent and there was an honesty bar offering all the drinks you would want. Lots of restaurants nearby and of course direct access to the beach. We watched dolphins swimming in the sea from our balcony, an amazing sight. If we are back in the area we will definitely return to this place.

Disappointing
The guest house has lots of potential with a nice location and good facilities. The staff are friendly, the breakfasts were good and the communial areas had nice sea views. However, we paid extra for a superior room which said it had a balcony and sea views but it had two windows opening onto a public parking lot and the other opening onto the hotel beach entrance. The effect being that we had to keep the curtains closed and be in a dark room as there were people constantly walking by who could see in. We complained about this. If it was not busy season we would have gone elsewhere . The staff mentioned that many people have complained about this. In our opinion, unless you book the most expensive executive room, if you want privacy and a sea view from your room, it's not worth it. If you don't mind these then booking would be ok as you are on the beach (not the main swimming beach).
