Краткий обзор: A charmingly scruffy beachfront relic where you trade modern luxury for a killer location and earplugs.
Подтверждено @lintajoseph: I’ve stayed in countless hotels, but climbing a four-story bamboo ladder to my room was a first. The view of the rice paddies from that height is absolutely unmatched. It feels like a secret hideout. Just remember: backpacks only, no suitcases!

Reality check
You will likely encounter sandflies at breakfast and hear the nightclub bass in your room.
- You prefer local vibes over sanitized all-inclusive resorts
- You are on a budget but demand direct beach access
- You don't mind rustic quirks like older furniture or manual door locks
Чистота и уход
7.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally praised, but they fight a constant battle against sand and nature.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Grout may be discolored due to age, not dirt. Water pressure varies.
- Maintenance: Rustic. Expect peeling paint, sticky doors, and older fixtures. It's 'shabby chic' leaning on shabby.
- Linens & towels: Functional but worn. Don't expect plush Egyptian cotton; these are standard motel-grade linens.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh ocean air, though some older rooms may have a slight musty or damp wood smell.

FAQ и советы
Всё, что вы действительно хотели бы знать перед бронированием.
Is this a clothing-optional resort?
No. While it has a history of being naturist-friendly, the resort itself is now clothing-mandatory. The public beach adjacent may still have some topless sunbathers.
Is there a pool?
No. There is a small hot tub, but for swimming, you have the ocean right at your doorstep.
Does the hotel have a gym?
Technically yes, but it's described as a 'comical relic' with rusty dumbbells. Use the beach for jogging instead.
Is breakfast included?
No. A cooked-to-order breakfast is available at the on-site restaurant for about $14 USD.
How bad is the noise?
It can be intense. On party nights (especially when Jungle is open), the bass travels through the walls. Bring earplugs.
Are the Secret Cabins worth it?
Only if you are strictly budget-focused. Think of them as wooden tents with a bed; you will be using a shared outdoor bathroom.
Советы инсайдеров
- ✨
The on-site restaurant 'C Grapes' has surprisingly good food, often better than the tourist traps nearby.
- ✨
You can walk to the 'Jungle' nightclub safely, so you save on taxi fare if you're there to party.
- ✨
Ask for a room with 'jalousie shutters' to catch the ocean breeze if you prefer fresh air over AC.
