A great option for those on a budget. The room was spotless and cleaned every day. It had tea and coffee and a kettle, a desk and soap and shampoo. The staff did their best to help in any way possible, but I found it easier to book my own excursions. The beach is close, just a short walk down a rough track. Location is good for basic shops and restaurants. The breakfast was wonderful and more than enough to keep me going all day. The restaurant also serves food all day and has a bar. The area was busy and noisy at times with traffic and being close to the street but I didn’t find this a problem.

Lille simplet hotel, men her er pænt og rent. Det har en aftale med et strandresort 100 meter væk hvor du kan opholde dig ved stranden i deres liggestole mod at købe for mindst USD10 per person. Super venligt personale.
