By the beach

Lovely little cabin, good kitchen, only 3 dining chairs at the table! Bed was hard but some people like that. Plenty of space. The sauna was not working and neither was the pool, the lady didn't know how to use the sauna and she had to shock treat the pool, this could of been done over night, one of the reasons we booked the pool and the sauna so really annoying they were both closed. Kids were looking forward to a swim. Good play ground for smaller kids next door, beach a few minutes walk away. Would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The ultimate scammers. We booked and paid for a family stay through Expedia, the property themselves then cancelled the booking a few hours later, they didn’t notify Expedia, claimed the money. Expedia showed us proof they had paid the property so they cannot do anything about a refund, meanwhile the property constantly lie about receiving the money. Gave up and disheartened. They probably do this scam regularly, stay away!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
there's no one at the reception basically. room is stinky. If you left over dishes at the kitchen there are lots of ants. I think staff should explain more about this cabin. as you know you have to go to bathroom outside. if you forget to bring a key, you have to stay outside whole night, and then what you have to do? by chance i could find the way, but it might happen, so I want them to explain about that. so awful..I never come back again.
