easy check in. amazing, spacious and clean room.
Beach is literally across the road from the lodge. My room had stunning sunset views over the beach, it was lovely.
The shower was really good as well - strong water pressure and hot temp.
No issues with the wifi either, it was speedy as.

The location was really nice. The unit was spacious and clean. Parking was on site . Somehow we had a ton of bugs accumulated by our front door when we came back after a night dinner. So a lot got in when we opened the door. Maybe attracted to the lights ?? Not the fault of the place, but just letting others know. I’d definitely recommend staying here and it was otherwise really pleasant .
