La vue et la propreté de la chambre

I have stayed in 7 budget places in town over the years and this place is the best by far. My second stay here, stayed total of 11 nights this time. Very quiet place, great view of ocean/sunset from dining area and room balcony. Room cleaned most days. Nice staff. Option for breakfast and other meals onsite. Shared kitchen was cleaner than most, had 2 cooking/sink areas, adequate fridge space, rare anyone else was cooking at same time. Host arranged boat transport and assisted me with my luggage when I left. I walked there with my minimal luggage on arrival from another place in town. Steep stairs up to the place so would be difficult if you have mobility issues, but was a good workout. Close to beach and small supermarket.

The bed was a bit hard. Breakfast served only 6-8 AM. Guests and staff were loud sometimes early in the morning when I was still sleeping.

Great location with beautiful views over the bay. Very friendly owner and staff, good restaurant/ bar. Very good value for money.

We were not very lucky during our stay (beginning of August). It rained heavily constantly and we only had about 4 hours without rain in 4 days! The view from the room would have been incredible but, because of the rain, the water was brown and we didn't get to see any nice sunsets. We didn't go swimming and couldn't do any activities (all were cancelled anyways due to weather). We did walk up to the lookout once and the view was breathtaking, even despite the rain.

Compared to the pictures of the rooms on the website, ours was very outdated, the sheets were old, and the bathroom was not inviting. The beds were not very comfortable, the safe was rusty and hard to use. Be aware that there are a lot of stairs uphill to go up to the hotel (we counted 125 steps to our room and we were not the highest).
