    The apartment was a fantastic space. Once we were given a stand fan and a wifi router, it would be a perfect place for a longer term stay. The location is perfect, very close to lots of restaurants and the main surf break.

    I had the cottage set in a quiet corner at the back. It is very private and the hosts were beyond kind. They are willing to help with anything to ensure that one is comfortable. The beach is across the road. There are many little restaurants,...

    The place was massive, the first place you have your own kitchen, bathroom and little living area with a 4 poster double bed, mosquito net and great fan. The next one is just a room with a bathroom, no kitchen unfortunately, but still-great size...
