fantastic location wonderful beach beautiful area low pressure weak wifi early closure
the location is fantastic! it is right on a wonderful beach. they have a beautiful public area too (it's fine). the curry made by the grandmother for breakfast was especially delicious!
The shower pressure was not great. It really wasn't strong enough to wash my hair properly. the wifi did not work in the rooms. the bar's last call for drinks was surprisingly early, at 9:30 pm.

the location was great, right on the beach. it was also an easy walk to shops and restaurants. the staff were so cute and accommodating. the food was good quality, and the menu provided enough options.
i was a bit disappointed with my room. it wasn't quite like the pictures. i was placed next to the road, so it was super loud. the wifi only worked in public spaces. it was frustrating that i couldn't get a signal in my room.
