The hut and bathroom were spacious. The hut comes with it's own seating area and hammock, mosquito net and air conditioning. There is a pool, but there are steps to the ocean directly as well. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the options for breakfast are quite varied. As the huts are set against the side of a hill part of the main path is a bit steep. I have read comments about roosters, and I have seen them on the premise, but I never heard them when I was inside my hut or sat in front of it.

We stayed here one night because we were taking a ferry from nearby pier. It was perfect for this. Pool is cute and refreshing. Beach not really useable for sunbathing or swimming but excellent for strolling and exploring. Water is shallow very far out. Restaurant food is good. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable. The area lacks much in walking distance. Not a lot of grocery stalls or restaurants but it is a fishing cove not a beach resort area so that’s to be expected. Fun to visit. It’s quiet and reserved on this side of island.

Interesting, but not for the sea and beach

We had beachfront villa and it was clean and nice, the view is not so amazing, if you want to entry in the sea this place is not for it, because of the re-flux / flux here doesn't exist a beach. Also because very close to the house is the pool sometimes is not so quiet. When I reserved the prices was ok because was 50 % discount. I think that is the correct price. At the new prices I think you can find something with beach and sea. The WIFI wasn't worked very well. It is a little to far from everything. You can use only taxi.

The only reason we’d rate this place 2/5 are due to the chickens that start roaring at 4-5am in the morning NON-STOP. We stayed in the treehouse E1, which is right above the ostriches and greenhouses, which I believe have some chickens and roosters in there. They start crying around 4am and by 5am they’re non-stop cuckoo dooing like puppies in a locked cage crying to be let out. It’s really disturbing and loud, it goes on until noon and you don’t get a restful sleep. We’re also right next to the highway so the car sounds are also pretty loud during the day; quiet at night. Such a shame because it’s a such a cute little treehouse, with a small far and beautiful cafe and restaurant. They provide toothbrushes, towels, umbrella, everything which is nice. But thank god we only stayed 2 nights, the chickens were just unbearable. The treehouse is not bug proof. There is A/C but lots of gaps on the floors and around doors. So you really need to use the mosquito net when you sleep: My other minor complaint is that it’s literally a lock and key, kinda annoying. And lastly, you will need to rent a motorbike, nothing not even the atm/money exchange is within walkable distance. The staff are nice and they have such cute uniforms. Restaurant food is limited but the ambience is very nice. Breakfast also quite limited.
