Amazing view

9.0

Nice terrace to relax, with pool table, small swimming pool and kitchen. Amazing sunset view and we saw monkeys every evening! Helpful staff who speak English.

No breakfast provided in rainy season but there was a kitchen to make something yourself. The kitchen was fairly well equipped but needs a better knife for cooking

It's up on a hill with nice breezes and fresh ocean wind coming in.There are two fans in the room. Great views from the communal area.

Not as close to downtown and the beach as some places.
