**"Conveniently Located with a Few Perks (and Some Room for Improvement)"** Looking for a spot close to the surf? 🏄‍♂️ This place is a winner! Conveniently located on the main street where all the action is, with street parking right by the boundary wall—super easy! 🚗 The rooms are clean, though the linens and toiletries could use a little upgrade. But the real MVP? Indaka, the super friendly and helpful staff member. Perfect if you're into surfing or swimming at the nearby sea! ….a walk on where loafers buzzes after 6pm.

Das Hotel wurde überbucht, als wir ankamen hieß es wir sollen uns ein anderes Hotel suchen. Das Hotel wurde direkt über Expedia gebucht und bezahlt, wir haben bis heute das Geld noch nicht zurückbekommen

Das Zimmer war in Ordnung, aber nichts Besonderes, und leider hatten wir ziemlich viele Ameisen. Hier sollte definitiv nochmal nachgebessert werden. Ein paar Dinge, die ich als Verbesserungsvorschläge hätte: Ein Mülleimer im Bad, eine Badematte, eine Klobürste, eine Seifenschale sowie Duschgel und Shampoo wären super. Ein Moskitonetz über dem Bett wäre auch eine tolle Ergänzung! Am ersten Morgen sind wir ziemlich spät aufgestanden, weil wir uns vom Schock eines Unfalls erholen mussten – unser TukTuk war mit einem Motorrad kollidiert. Als wir um 12:30 Uhr runterkamen, war der Besitzer sofort zur Stelle und hat uns angeboten, noch schnell ein Frühstück zu machen, obwohl wir schon so spät dran waren. Das war echt unglaublich nett. Als wir ihm von unserem Unfall erzählt haben, meinte er, wir sollten uns keine Sorgen machen – er würde sich um alles mit der Reparatur kümmern. Wir haben ihn dann auch noch nach einer Surf-Stunde gefragt, und ohne zu zögern hat er seinen Freund angerufen und alles organisiert. Faiz, der Surf-Lehrer, war super und ich kann ihn nur empfehlen! Als wir von der Surf-Stunde zurückkamen, standen der Besitzer und der Mechatroniker bei unserem TukTuk und haben es repariert – ich war wirklich beeindruckt von dieser Hilfsbereitschaft. Das Frühstück war auch großartig, vor allem die Smoothies! Am zweiten Morgen gab es super leckere Pfannkuchen mit Nutella und Bananen. Insgesamt eine tolle Erfahrung, trotz kleiner Mängel im Zimmer.
