Muito bom
Localização boa, perto da praia, infraestrutura um pouco precåria, porém acho que faz parte da região, anfitriã super simpåtica, faz de tudo para agradar ao hóspede e då vårias dicas de onde ir. Sugestão: investir um pouco para melhorar o conforto nos quartos, como colocar cortinas blackout em todas as janelas e um colchão bom.
