"I LOVED it here - perfect place to rest. Tomas the manager was very kind and considerate. Abel my host was outstanding and Ana my housekeeper was also excellent. I was so exhausted and they looked after me so well. Could have all my meals on my terrace and just sleep, read, sunbathe and sleep some more.
Only disappointment was the massage I had which was ok - but not superb - as I would have expected. Guided snorkelling trip was sensational however.
Dying to try their other resort now.."

"I wasn't blown away by this place. Rooms were small, pool was dirty, safe didn't work.
The hostess was present when we arrived - but was there in the morning - lovely, wonderful helpful lady - who fixed everything sharpish. Would not stay here again"

Feedback response
We are sorry that this guesthouse did not suit this traveller. However we were pleased to read that the lady on duty the day after arrival was incredibly helpful in sorting out any issues this traveller had. In hindsight perhaps we should have suggested a larger hotel with a more central location.
