This place has old-style island huts, all fan-cooled and with private bathroom in a reasonably well-shaded coconut grove. The stretch of beach here is very pretty and the restaurant, with a pool table, is good, albeit a bit sleepy, making this overall a quiet spot with a welcoming vibe and friendly staff. Facilities are basic but at these rates it is a bargain.

Cheap! - 26th July, 2007
Quite nice, very small, fan rooms were good and clean. Very cheap considering the great stretch of sand it is on. Food was nice. Recommended.
