The people operating property are very Rude, unorganized, and allow people to do anything that they want. Cooking fish without vent is ridiculous.

Check in was excellent. Young lady was so helpful and accommodating. Room okay. Very roomy. No soap or any type of toiletries supplied. Apart from that, our stay was pretty good. Was just an overnight stop, so if we were there again, we would stay there.
