Ricardo and Debrah are great hosts, and this place is welcoming, comfortable, relaxing, really pretty. The pool area is beautiful, the sunset from the rooftop terrace is fabulous, the beach is 5 mins walk. Any information you need, getting to points of interest or getting a take away, you can ask. Hosts also speak english. What else? Our room was great, breakfast was fabulous, WiFi excellent, really appreciated the secure off-street parking. Loved it here, wish we could have stayed longer!
