I stayed in one of the villas (No.24). It was very pleasant and spotlessly clean. Really large bed, a small kitchen with fridge and a good shower.

The property is just located nearby the ferry terminal and tourist information center, which provides stunning views of the harbor. The room is so tidy, and the kiosk nearby really offers many dinning options. The staff there is very friendly and helpful as well.
