The host and the guy that welcomed us Isa were very friendly and attended us very well. Another thing is the privacy, the guy Isa didn't bother us at all since he stays there. We truly enjoyed our stay in there.

    Nothing beats this location. A short walk from amenities and good restaurants. Phenomenal views of the ocean from every room, with a thoughtful design and good air flow. Love the pool area, private, clean and an all round good space to swim, braai, lounge and read a book. Even the dogs were a delight, an obvious match for the wonderful hosts. Highly recommend for a couple or solo traveler looking to decompress.
