"This was our 3rd stay here. Rooms are like new, clean and spacious. Front desk staff are friendly, smooth check-in. Walking distance to Thai restaurant- where enjoyed dinner and Cafe for breakfast.

But we liked the beach being so close by. Clean beach except for the seasonal small stinky blue algea/jellyfish like creatures...
