Quirky, fun, hostel-like property. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed both pools and the area. It's a chill, relaxed environment at Nilu and the area. My morning routine was to get a cappuccino nearby at 360, walk to the beach and watch the surfers.

I enjoyed the service and the activities the staff offered, such as the pool party, yoga and mindfulness sessions. The water dispenser didn’t work during my stay, so it was uncomfortable to refill the water bottles, because we (the guests) had to use a knife to open the water faucets. The food is good and the drinks are amazing!
