A lovely small place. Our room was clean and comfortable. We were very delayed arriving due to our flight delays and the lovely man at reception assured us it was fine and was at the hotel to greet us. We walked to a local restaurant in the evening and it seemed safe.

The atmosphere of the accommodation. Beautiful tropical property. This is an excellent place for those who are independent travelers, not so much for those needing to be pampered. I thought it was a great place to stay. Stayed 15 nights.
