The breakfast ist nice. They also buy local food. It’s nice to try it, especially for a foreign person. They have a washing machine which you can use. We used it always after the diving. So no salty water. They also have a small kitchen which the people can use + A water refill station. The location is also really good. We would book it again.

The bed curtain only existed on one side and room had no lock so in theory anyone could walk in at any time. Made me feel a bit queer
