We were however very disappointed on arrival to be put into the 'Giraffe' room - small, dark and dingy. It is nothing like the beautiful room advertised on the web.
There is very little privacy as the balconies are right next to each other with only frosted glass in between. The outside chairs are small and uncomfortable. There is no door between the bedroom and the toilet! The best part of our stay was the view.
Great features:
* The view
* Close to Tweni beach
* The shower is spacious
* If you are a meat-eater there is plenty of it served at breakfast
Not so great features:
* Small, dark room
* Uncomfortable furniture
* No privacy - on the toilet or on the balcony
* Breakfast for vegetarians is limited to plastic cheese (processed slices and wedges), toast and cereal.
* Cold, weak coffee
Price: Expensive for what you get. We've stayed in much nicer places for a lot less
Would we go back: Definitely not. This is one of two places we've visited in the last year that we will never return to or recommend to anyone.
Recommended for: A carnivorous single person who really has nowhere else to go for the night.
The host/s: The owner was very friendly over email when I initially made the booking but not so in person. The lady who let us in made us feel unwelcome from the start. The only one who was nice was the lady who made the breakfast.
