It was very pleasant, no frills but comfortable. Very welcoming and friendly family. It is not a hotel is like being in a friend house, homemade fresh meals and with a beautiful fishermen beach a couple of steps away.

Lovely, relaxing stay near the beach.

Remember, this is not about a 5 star stay. This is a family home near the beach. Jimmy, his wife and his son Emile, offer a delightful, 'all we can do to help' environment. It's lovely and your not trashing the environment with loads of ultimately unnecessary extras. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Great home cooking...excellent trips and good aircon. Thanks guys.
