Excellent accommodation up in the treetops
The rooms are actually little apartments in a lush tropical paradise really close to the sea. They are spacious, clean and upon arrival come with a very nice welcome juice. The owner is lovely and also provides an excellent English breakfast for a small additional charge.

Friendly owners. The villa is very well equipped. Great bed, nice bathroom, induction hob, fridge, water pot (10 l), terrace in exotic tropical style. There are mosquito repellents (candles, gel repellent) for use. The villa is located in a tropical forest (palm trees, bamboos, bananas, etc.).
