Ok but not very clean

Liked:The shower was good although it didn't drain well at all. The hammock was a nice touch. Only met one young lady on the desk the whole time we stayed there. When we found the beach and walked up the to the cove ( about 40 mins), we found the best beach with fantastic swimming and views. Along the road about 20 mins was a super market. A good pizza place at the top of the track and a soda. Saw howler monkeys 🐒

Disliked:Well frankly the hut/cabin was very run down... leaking sink, loose taps, drain In shower bad, broken noisy fan, broken knife in kitchen area but most of all it was very dirty and it made me uncomfortable. There was a sign on the wall saying be careful not to stain the towels with sun cream or we would be charged 20 dollers an item which I thought was a cheek as they were already stained a little and the sheets were thread bare. It was cheap but it should be clean even if it was basic.

Some maintenance is needed for a better stay

Liked:We reserved 2 bungalows, each is a triple room. Everything works in one but not the other.

Disliked:The other one didn’t have hot water, ceiling fan was broken, faucet was broken, water was shooting out, fortunately we reserved only one night.
