User reviews
"We had a great time during our stay at the beach. It's noticeably less crowded compared to Anakao, and the food is excellent. The owner is friendly and accommodating, always willing to fulfill our requests. The only suggestion for improvement would be to update the older bungalows, although the newer ones are fantastic."
