Friendly owners, both of them were too kind. This is in a gated guest house and you will get a remote to open the front gate. Its about a 5 min drive from the beach and food is pretty close by as well.

Poor experience!

The room experience was terrible - the carpet was wet and the room was smelly from what the owners indicated was a water tap that was left opened by the previous guest - but why not afford me the option to cancel my reservation, then!
