"Nice place on the island. Will come again."
"Jag uppskattade framförallt gratis cyklar att låna, det har underlättat min vistelse enormt mycket. Närmaste stranden är väldigt fin. Personalen var trevlig och tillmötesgående. Ett tips är att ta med öronproppar då det är lyhört. En förbättring vore att ha myggnät, det skulle vara hjälpsamt. Överlag så kan jag rekommendera boendet, det är ett enkelt standard men trivsamt."
