Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, full-day security and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Every room comes with a balcony with pool views.

I can't say enough about this place. My experience was absolutely amazing. Chunga Changa is located in a small quiet road so you can have privacy and peace. The beach is just 10 minutes within walking distance. The room is spacious, clean and well decorated with rustic decors. The host, Sabrina, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Definitely try the food there as well as they are affordable and delicious. Totally recommend!

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

It’s beautifully decorated, extremely clean and the staff are sweet and very friendly. They decorated our room for our honeymoon and we even received a free bottle of champagne. The pool was always clean and the facilities around it as well. You’re very short walk from the beach and can walk to local shops if you seek some variety . We had a problem with our water but that was fixed once we had brought up the problem with management. Overall I have nothing to fault them for. Thanks again for the lovely service.

    The stuff was the most wonderful stuff ever overly friendly but authentically - kind, funny and very sweet during my birthday. The location is the perfect get away for relaxation and silence. Every morning I couldn’t believe the beautiful view. The activity possibilities inside and outside the hotel are perfect. We loved the Kanus. Thank you so so so much! The food in the restaurant is just insanely good. We loved it. If you wanna check out all meals, we have an instagram story about it @bloomandbottle

    The owner is very nice, helpful and will give you all recommendations you need. She even allow me to use her phone to call the airline company and change a flight. The location is ideal, next to a very nice beach, diving centre and some bars and restaurants. The bungalow is big enough, very clean (it gets cleaned every day). The fans which help with the heat. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, eggs, a small salad, and toasted bread. It’s simple but what you need. Thanks again
