Check in and out was great. The cabin is adorable and was quite clean. It was also surprisingly quiet for how full it was. Blackout curtains were appreciated. ..but the honesty of the staff is incredible. We left something behind and they contacted us as to how to get it back to us. Impressive.

The room was very clean but very small, requested amenities be replaced with no room service requested, over a three day stay, but finally got extra milk and coffee at Reception. Our quarters were closer to the railway track than the beach.

$223 a night for a small room by the road. Old shower with mould. Room service - none - they just changed the towels. Didn’t make the bed or wash a dish in the sink. Pillows really big and so firm, office closed so we had to sleep on folded towels. No fan or aircon - just unscreened open windows that let the bugs in = lots of bites. No microwave, only an old cook top. Good location near glow worms and beach. But no way is it worth that cost or the 4.5 stars or 9/10 stated. That room was 3 stars. We can’t recommend this place at all.
