Summary: A wonderful stay with charming, interesting and accomodating hosts. We had the cool property on stilts which had everything we needed. The proximity to the beach, quietness and comfort were prob not much different to higher end and more costly hotels. Don’t leave without dehusking and opening a fresh coconut from their tree and watch out for sweet little hermit crabs at night around the property. Would stay again.
