Overall the location and amenities are great. We enjoyed the views from our balcony. We're the kind of travellers who like making our breakfasts and some dinners "at home" when we travel. So our main criticism is the kitchen: the delapitated dishwasher needs replacement ASAP, the cutting board situation needs attention, the hood desperately needs cleaning and a light bulb, and it's been a very long time since the water filter in the refrigerator has been replaced. Thank you.

<The most mesmerising oceanfront of my life-- I kept looking at the waves violently crashing into the rocks. The blue-turquoisish water was hypnotising. My boyfriend – and travel partner – used to kid over this. ‘What colour are my eyes?’ ‘Ahangama blue.’ The clouds were rolling in, and I felt it as a warning not to go in that day. However, whenever I felt the urge to keep my eyes off that tumult, it would call me back. Bewitched. I promised myself to head back there one day and surf those waves!> #waterlust P.S.
