Reviews
The owner was very nice and she explained about all the trees that they have in the garden.
So many terrible insects inside. Even in the bedroom: cockroach, lizards,... Very small and hard bed with too hard pillows. No beach nearby nor any shops. Very disappointing.
Nothing to do, nothing to see, no swimming. Owner is only interested in money.
Pro:
- amazing views (you can even hear the waves breaking)
- very nice owners
- parking
- clean (besides the usual ants that you can't avoid on this island)
Con:
- kitchen and living space seem to be shared (we were by ourselves)
- kitchen is not supposed to be used
- the room were rather functional
