It is situated ideally - walking distance to the pier where the ferries stop, town, restaurants (such as the Italian one called Riso Romaro and YngYang that offers excellent cuisine) and many tourist attractions such as the local prisons and museum.
It is also easy to pop in at bars on the beach for a quick cocktail. I recommend The Bar 200!
The beach area is beautiful and the view spectacular. The water's temperature was fantastic, but there were jellyfish around every time we swam (which was at least 3 times a day). Because of all the seagrass spilling out onto the beach, we were bitten a zillion times by all the sand flies (midgets?) as they feed off the seagrass. It itches severely for days on end...Do not sit or lie on the sand .. No pool available at this resort, which is a pity.. Also no beach towels, and very few chairs under the palm trees to sit or relax on.
The breakfast offered is ok, but dishes are left open and are often cold. Lots of flies are around because of that. Variety is very similar day after day. We stayed for 5 nights and the only thing that changed was instead of having a shot glass filled with yogurt was a shot glass filled with coconut jello.
The bungalow on the beach was super nice. Nothing fancy but spacious and clean, which is what we wanted. The staff were friendly and helpful. They also helped organising a car to take us to the airport, thank you! GRAB is also available and we used them too - their drivers are amazing and their cars are spotless!
We were very happy with our choice, we had a lovely time!
