“What stands out is its blend of quietude and convenience, steps from the beach and town but peacefully removed. The rooms have personality, some offering kettles and tea, while a communal rooftop and fridge add a home-like touch. I especially appreciate the balconies, mosquito-free spots with carved wooden railings.”
