Justin and Hilda are thoughtful and charming hosts in this simple but comfortable guest house. The rooms are simple and clean. The setting is stunning - the garden leads onto miles of unspoilt beach, crowded only by palm trees and fishing boats. The only thing missing for me was a lounger to lie about on - although we did enjoy... More

A small homestay (guest house), but with spacious rooms, an airy foyer and balcony and a comfortable atmosphere.

While the location is very nice with a good beach and no tourists and hawkers, the property itself, and especially the staff, leave a lot to be desired. Firstly, the place has an identity problem. It is not a hotel, though it has a number of rooms... More

I wasn't sure whether or not to book this hotel as some of the reviews seemed less than ecstatic. But our stay was really good. The food was tasty, the owners very friendly but not overbearing and the location is amazing! you walk out if the gardens straight on to the beach, its fishing boats and fishermen. Thoroughly recommend a... More

Stayed for 3 nights at their seaside guest house and another 4 nights at the one at the city. In a nutshell, the place is clean & well maintained, the staff and owners were uber friendly and accommodated my every request even at odd hours. Was so happy with the friendly service that I moved 3 of my business meetings... More
