    There was no option to get a drink during the day. While being at the pool that would be a great plus.

    Nice location close to the main street of Santa Lucia with many restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful during check-in. The pool and the garden are nice. Also the breakfast was good. There have been some monkeys, they were keen on food, but not too annoying as monkeys can be. We can recommend this lodge.

    The water pressure was very low in my room. I had reported it but nothing was done. A microwave would be a good upgrade as well for guests to be able to heat up their own food.

    Lovely calm and peaceful atmosphere upon welcome. The pool and outside area is very tropical and this gives it a unique touch. Loved the hanging chairs around the pool.

    Other groups who booked in did not respect other guests , and made noise late into the night...

    Venue and premises were tops. We enjoyed the facilities and breakfast was a huge treat!!!

    It is a very affordable place for a holiday. You have the sea close by and a swimming pool. It is great. Will definitely go there again.
