The bungalow I’ve stayed in was dirty and has lots of gnats flying around, shower is too small and has very slow drain, and the door feature is not emergency friendly in case of fire. Thanks for the good service, but I will not recommend the place in the future.

So-so

Photos are not super accurate. It has an RV park area, a camping area as well as the units. The unit itself had a small kitchen which would have been nice if we were there long, a bedroom with 3 twin beds and when you walk in, that also was a bedroom with a double (really 2 twins together with a sheet over them). The bathroom was ok - not super clean (ants on the floor) and the shower drain did no such thing. We used all the towels to soak up the flooded floor because there is nothing in the bathroom floor for that. Dinner was really good. Breakfast was some croissants that when we went 30 min after it opened were 80% gone and after sitting there for 10 min were never filled back up so we left without eating. That was pretty disappointing. The beach is nice. That was the best part of the place and we were only able to use it long enough to get some photos before we had to check out to go to work.

Nergånget. Dålig service. Liten frukost

Slitna rum. Ingen AC. Hårda sängar. Livat på natten utanför så var svårt att sova. Frukosten var kaffe och ett bröd per person. Adressen stämde inte så det var väldigt omständligt att ena hitta fram. Fin strand var ett plus i alla fall.
