The property features five elegant Jungle View Bungalows and two exclusive Luxury Pool & Ocean View Bungalows. Each bungalow includes a spacious open layout with a king-size bed, air conditioning, large screened windows, a fully equipped kitchen, an en-suite bathroom, and a tropical indoor/outdoor shower. The Luxury Pool & Ocean View Bungalows are just steps from the pool and feature an oversized tub for two, a stand-up shower, and dual sinks—perfect for a romantic escape. We stayed at the hotel for two weeks, longer then most I think. The bungalows are wonderful and the place with the restaurant / bar by the beach is so nice. It is hip, it is alive, it is cool, it is groovy. This is the obvious place to go if you want to take a sun-downer and realax with a good drink and some nice music. Every now and then the manager himself was standing in the DJ both. The staff is so friendly and professional and always have time for a chat and they can help you with anything. We had time to walk the whole beach a couple of times, checking in other places, and I dare say, this is the best place by far. At morning when you sit down by the beach to order your breakfast, the birds sing in the trees above you and later in the day when you lie on the beautiful sun beds you have a good chance to see the local crocodile (!!) come out from the creek to enjoy the sun. Just dont go to close, he is big. Food is good, dinks are good, music is good, staff is good. This is the place.
