Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay Clean, great views and good base for touring the island. Would be much better if fly screens were on windows and doors in bedrooms as it got very warm at night (we visited in summer). We managed by keeping bedroom doors open and having the air con on overnight. ##### Frances F. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian Di M.
