Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 19:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for furry companions.
- Not directly on the beachfront — The guest house is about a 25-minute walk to some attractions, and while it's close to shops and restaurants, it's not a beachfront property.
- Some guests found the pool unusable in rain — A couple of guests noted they couldn't use the pool due to weather, which might be a letdown if you plan on swimming.

9.1Verified guest“I had a fantastic stay. The location was perfect, tucked away in a quiet part of town, away from the busy beaches. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The room I was upgraded to had an amazing view of the sea, and the exotic beaded animals added a unique charm. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options. The swimming pool was a wonderful touch, though I didn't get to enjoy it due to the rain. Clean, quiet, and comfortable – a luxurious experience.”
