Dont stay here.
We arrived via a bumpy dirt road during a thunderstorm. It was a room up steep stairs with 4 beds and a table. You had to go outside and down steep stairs to the bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was disgusting. The toilet didn’t flush. You had to turn the water on and off. We stayed 20 minutes. The bed was covered in either flying ants or termites. Disgusting.

Almost impossible to call this a property. TERRIBLE. Basically paid for a shed with a bed. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Slept in clothes. Did not use shower - toilet only if desperate. Honestly, just gross. Description of locale incredibly deceiving. As an example, the workout room was a rusty stationary bike from the 70’s. The next day couldn’t come soon enough!

Jim and Emma were very accommodating. Upon departure, Jim called in the howler monkeys to say goodbye and nearly 30 came by to perch in the trees above the Bungalow... very cool.

Great A-frame cabins right next to the beach, with a hammock and a picnic table right on the edge of the beach. Very relaxing, with a couple of sweet, friendly dogs there. The manager, Emma, is planting lots of flowers and fruit trees, and can give you a quick tour of all of them. There's also a small pool, and you can rent bicycles or kayaks. I definitely recommend it!
