Old shower with mould. Room service - none - they just changed the towels. Didn’t make the bed or wash a dish in the sink. Pillows really big and so firm, office closed so we had to sleep on folded towels. No fan or aircon - just unscreened open windows that let the bugs in = lots of bites. No microwave, only an old cook top. Good location near glow worms and beach. But no way is it worth that cost or the 4.5 stars or 9/10 stated. That room was 3 stars. We can’t recommend this place at all. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e82dbff8-3431-465a-a978-4e2f161810cd-1769392467483.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4b3036c0-1f05-4567-9bb4-642354086f0a-1769392468418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8609f83b-e1a4-4e28-9137-f7c56ee98c00-1769392468552.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/482564bc-46dc-468d-8d82-e43530e8043f-1769392465605.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gail Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Landon Jan 25, 2026 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location and kitchen was well equipped.
