Overpriced, reviews are very overstated
I booked this place on a whim. It had very good reviews and at the price point, I assumed it had to be excellent. I was very disappointed. The room was clean enough, but it didn't even have a chair or table. The only place to sit was the bed. There was a blue light around the ceiling that I couldn't turn off at night. The fridge leaked. The location is really cut off from everything except the blowhole though it is within a short tug tuk ride of places that one might want to see. The overpriced room didn't include breakfast which every other property I stayed at did. The grounds were not that inviting for sunbathing or swimming, though to be fair, I never went swimming. There was a cage fence separating the property from the beach, presumably to keep out the local fisherman, which felt unsettling. The TV didn't work and the internet connection was pretty terrible.
The only redeeming feature in my opinion was the caretaker Mupale and his wife who made decent food and were diligent about anything I needed. Apart from that, the only thing I can say about it is that it was clean. I would have a hard time recommending this place. It was the most expensive place I stayed at on my trip around the south and it was also the most disappointing.
