I stayed there for the second time. I like it because it is quiet in the garden rooms. I don't even need earplugs to sleep. It's away from downtown so no honking or street noise. I went to the front desk to ask for taxis and they always showed up in a few minutes. It's July 2026 and the bar is under construction but a smaller bar is open by the beach. It was more fun because even though there is less seating you end up socializing with everyone there.
