Layout of apartment and location were brilliant. Small things that let it down were air conditioning not working, remote for living room TV was broken with batteries exposed and the unit wasn’t very clean we kept finding hair both animal and human, crunched up corn chips around floor near the couch as well as ants, decorative pillows and throws needed washing.

Our stay at Caves Bungalows was absolutely unforgettable. The place is stunning, spotless, and incredibly peaceful, a perfect escape. Every morning we woke up to the most breathtaking sunrise over the ocean, right from the comfort of our bed. Watching the sun rise over the water without even getting up was truly magical and something we’ll never forget. The bungalow was beautifully designed, spacious, and very comfortable. The pool area was fantastic, easy access to the beach, everything was immaculately clean, and the whole property felt thoughtfully designed and well maintained. We also had dinner there and ordered the steak, it was absolutely delicious, which made the experience even more special. From the views to the comfort to the atmosphere, everything was perfect. This is a truly special place and we can’t wait to come back. Highly, highly recommended.

The bungalows are beautiful overlooking a lagoon and then onto towards the ocean. You can hear the sound of the waves at night. Very nice rooms although the chairs weren’t exactly comfortable. Lovely walk down onto the beach. The fountains can be a little noisy at the front but needed to keep mosquitoes away and they don’t go all the time anyway. would definitely stay again
