Very nice hang out common area and bar with Wi-Fi. Good location a few minutes on foot from the Slipway and not far from Coco Beach (but better to go there by car). Good AC in the room. Quiet area with private double rooms, we had a good sleep. Nice staff. Good place to meet other travellers or expats.
The common toilets/bathrooms are microscopic and could be modernised - at least a few hooks could be added to hang towel and clothes when you shower, as everything gets wet. No Wi-Fi in the rooms. The rooms are also very small, but like for the toilet/bathroom, a few hooks and shelves on the wall for the clothes/personal stuff could easily improve the quality and comfort of the stay.

There is much to like about SL, but the purpose of this review is to be listened to, as all these items have been mentioned in person to staff, yet nothing has changed. I will happily delete this upon acknowledgement, and replace it with one full of praises 🙏🏼
- Please: a designated smoking area, or none allowed. Many times I’ve been nauseated by cigarette smoke while eating or working in the common area. - Please: wifi reaching the dorm so we can go work/call in there on the days the whole common space is blasted by loud sports projections. - Please: somewhere to hang wet towels in the dorm. - Please: some courtesy rules in the dorm… Take outside: Phone calls when people are sleeping, chemical deodorant sprays… Too many guests acting like it’s their own private room. Respect and thanks 🙏🏼
