My stay here was ok, great to be by the pier and plenty of restaurants and a laundry place up the road. I was on the top bunk and it was quite awkward getting to it, plus there was only a curtain covering part of the opening?! I had to make another curtain out of my sarong 😅 lots of ants near my bed and the bed itself was very hard. Only experienced a warm shower near the end of my stay. I liked you could borrow snorkel gear for free and the free tea / coffee was ok plus the water station.
