Beautiful serene location, srrrounded by jungle, very short walk to the beach. We stayed in the bungalow and appreciated the privacy and the private pool attached. I loved the outdoor feeling of the shower and the overall style of the lodge. Beds were comfortable. Delicious breakfast every morning. Sylvia and her family have created a unique place to stay in paradise.

Beautifully landscaped gardens with great plants and a few animals. It was very private in the bungalow. Pool was clean. The beach and supermarket are within walking distance (very hot at midday). Everything very clean.
We didn't realize that the rooms in the bungalow are separate and the bathroom is accessible via the terrace. That was a bit uncomfortable. The breakfast was okay, but nothing more. For the price I would have expected more here. The woman at breakfast was very grumpy. We had the feeling she wasn't interested. You have to like the fact that everything is open. It was very loud at night due to the frogs, crickets, etc. And even louder when it rained due to the tin roof. Jungle up close, but also very loud. Everything gets damp, so it smells musty.
