The atmosphere of the accommodation. Beautiful tropical property. This is an excellent place for those who are independent travelers, not so much for those needing to be pampered. I thought it was a great place to stay. Stayed 15 nights.

Perfect location to explore the town. Owner mentioned that there is a bar with music, so nothing for travelers who want to go to bed early. Otherwise very quiet, no traffic noises
