The location isn’t ideal, but there is a free shuttle bus several times per day to the city or beach. The sofa and bed are a little uncomfortable, but the room is well equipes with a decent kitchen and good shower. The pool is decent and the site is green and well kept. On site shop is an absolute rip off, avoid if you can, the restaurante and bar are moderately priced however. The private beach was probably the best part, and the lack of/poor WiFi the worst. The place called out for more vibrancy, but it was comfortable enough to be more than just a place to sleep and we needed some peace and quiet anyways!"
