Extremely modest lodging. Just the basics. But everything is clean and everything works. AC keeps you cool all night. The two who watch the property are the sweetest and greet you with a smile every time you leave and return. You can drop off laundry next door and they will deliver to reception. Less than 5 minute walk to the port or dive shops or market for breakfast/dinner.
