The bed was comfy and it was clean

There were no microwave and having to climb upstairs with suitcases was not a good idea after driving for almost 7 hours by car

"Exceptional"

10.0

Great value stay in an unbeatable location right by the beach. The room itself was comfortable with a decent bed, air conditioning, and a very basic bathroom—nothing fancy, but it did the job. Check-in was handled at the bar and you’re given a single key, which was simple enough.

For the price, it’s hard to complain, though the lack of cutlery or a microwave was a little strange. We did notice a couple of small critters running around which was a bit off-putting, but overall it wasn’t a deal breaker and we’d still consider staying again for the location and price.
