A few ups and downs
We arrived and upon checking in we were told that our booking had been cancelled by the hotel by mistake even though I had been emailing them in the lead up to our arrival. To their credit they were able to check us in for our 4 days however this meant moving into 3 different rooms during the 4 days which wasn’t feet convenient for us but at least we had somewhere to stay. Steph was really apologetic and tried to do her best to compensate us and we were actually able to see the different types of rooms they had but it wasn’t an ideal situation. The rooms were really spacious, clean and had great amenities and were in a really good location. Only downside of the second villa we were in is that it’s totally open and some people walking along the beach would come right up to the villa and be looking in while we were inside

Great place to unwind from the world. Could be improved if there was a bar or restaurant either on the premises or very close.

The owners and staff couldn’t have been any more helpful and friendly. The villas have quality bicycles, paddle boards, and kayaks that are free to use and plentiful. We will be back!
