Breakfast
The quality-price ratio for breakfast was frequently mentioned as excellent and the breakfasts were often described as generous and tasty. Guests were also fond of the friendly service and the accommodating staff, who even facilitated early breakfast for those with early departures.
However, some reviews indicated areas for improvement. Several guests mentioned a lack of vegan options and a general desire for more variety in the daily offerings. There were suggestions that the breakfast could be a bit more substantial with more fruit or typical local dishes included.

Rooms
The facility is praised for its creative design and super cute common areas. Guests frequently mention the mosquito nets provided in both private and shared rooms, which contributes to a pleasant stay in a tropical environment. However, some reviews note the lack of sufficient privacy due to design choices like small windows, lack of proper walls or doors and rooms facing the street that can be quite noisy at night.
