    Breakfast could be bigger, they could add some fruits and bed was not so comfortable.

    Very well located, right on the beach, not noisy, nice staff, clean, breakfast at the beach, you can rent a bicycle for 50K/day and the turtle spot is very close.

    Outdated bungalow, needs some TLC, renovation. Old, tired and unfortunately a little grubby. However clean and comfortable bed most importantly!

    Very comfortable bed, good Aircon, quiet at night, friendly staff, breakfasts on the beach every morning was lovely.

    The wifi was terrible. I had no internet in my room during my whole stay. They need to change the modem router or something. I understand its a tropical island but other places had good wifi. The bathroom was filthy. They need to change the toilet seat, trash bin etc. it was so dirty you get disgusted. The breakfast is nothing special.

    Location The staff was friendly You have access to the beach and there is sea turtles everywhere You can rent a bike with them 50k / day The AC was good.

    The Wi-Fi connection was very poor☹️ otherwise everything was great!

    Lovely place with even more lovely staff! 🩵 The room was super spacious and clean with a little terrace outside. They also provide a bottle of water, instat coffee and tea with a kettle in the room 😊 AC worked good, hot water in the shower, there was also a fridge in the room. The location is great, front-beach and you can use their sunbeds for free. The beach was clean and you can swim with the turtles in the sea everyday! 🥹🐢The bungalow is very close to all the buzz with shops, bars and restaurants, yet you don’t hear anything in the room, so you can sleep. 10mins walk to the harbour. Breakfast was very nice with lots of choices and they serve it on the beach which I really liked. You can also order something in the beach cafe, they serve food and drinks all day. Staff was always smiling, super kind and helpful! They also provide a bike rental and laundry. Absolutely great value for the price. I had a great time, thank you!

    Cheap mattress with thread-bare sheet. Fridge hadn't been cleaned with lots of muck inside. Electric facia sockets unsafe, falling off walls. Unassuming entrance with even locals not being able to find! Rarely a person on reception. Need to ask a cafe for water refill..

    Location, away from mosque yet near to beach-front, restaurants, bars and outdoor facilities. Quite outdoor seating area.

    All good

    Great staying, I loved it! Room - it’s a very lovely bungalow/room with all the facilities, you have also tables outside. All the facilities worked well, hot shower, good mattress and pillows. You also have wardrobe and desk with a chair! Wi-Fi is working too. The place is welcoming, relaxing and quiet. (No hairdryer available) Service - Great! The staff was really nice, polite and friendly! I also did my laundry and they washed and ironed my stuff, very well done a as me cheap price! Private beach and sun beds available. Breakfast - you can pick from the menu what you like and drinks. You can have breakfast indoor or at the beach. Good breakfast! Location - 10 mins walking from the harbour, the beach is beautiful and the area is quiet (no loud music around in the evening, you can find parties near the harbour).

    Lovely little hotel! Great staff - very friendly and helpful. Clean & comfortable rooms. Good breakfast included. Restaurant out front on the beach so very easy to just chill out and relax. Easy swimming & snorkelling out the front. Will certainly be back!

    With few more maintenance could be really great!

    We loved so much the location on the beach and close to the main area with restaurants and bars, but very quiet during the night. Great price, our bungalows were simple but clean and spacious. In front of Balenta you will find Lank's kiosk offering you snorkeling trips, super reccomended

    Please note that is just by the Mosque so you'll hear the prayer every morning.

    Lovely bungalow right by the beach, close to everything but not noisy at night. Breakfast was very tasty and with many choices.

    Friendly helpful staff. Good breakfast. Truck from ferry is walkable but rent a horse if you have luggage. Much easier. Hotel is right on beach. Can use loungers. Island cut through road is nearby. Ac works great. Daily water refills. I stayed here twice and one shower had great water pressure. Other didn’t. Wi-Fi is ok. Works great in restaurant area.

    As described, and a lovely location. There is a long strip of busy-ness with lots going on, this was towards the quieter end but still plenty of eateries and options all round. The room itself was excellent and just off the thoroughfare yet I heard nothing. Great to have a fridge and kettle. Also nearly on corner with a cut through road to take one directly to a sunset view on the other side of the island.

    The were a few dead cockroaches in the room in the morning but the bathroom has an open window and the bungalow is further back so it's expected.

    The location and the staff were great. Free sunbeds on the beach and food and drink that you could order from there. The room was a good size and the AC was really good.

    internet was very patchy and I could only get wifi when sitting outside, we didn’t have SIM cards so we were relying on wifi.

    location was great, quick walk to the centre and along turtle beach, near some great restaurants. staff were friendly and the breakfast included was simple but delicious.
