Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Beautiful, quiet, great facilities and the kitchenette had everything I needed. The bed was really comfy and being able to get Netflix was a great bonus as a solo traveller. The ice bath was AMAZING and the pool was stunning!! The hosts were so nice, had a great variety of classes in the yoga shala (additional cost) a few food places that deliver (take cash if you don’t have a car like me) a shop within walking distance which stocked most things you would need, walking distance to the beach and driving distance to some great towns, beaches and restaurants. I felt really safe, comfortable and at home here. It was a wonderful stay and a lucky find!
Negative: My room was quite dark inside in the daytime which I know is probably on purpose to keep it cool but I was doing a working retreat and was hoping for a bright / well lit space. Definitely more of a me problem 😂! Could maybe do with some more sun loungers around the pool - there was only once during my stay that they were in use when I wanted to use them but if you were hiring the space as a retreat centre and gave everyone some downtime it would maybe be an issue.
Summary: Beautiful, peaceful, dreamy ❤️
