We stayed for 2 weeks in May 2013. with a 5 year old child.
There is no normal transfer to the hotel, since there is no road : ), so the bus reaches the exit to a narrow street and unloads tourists. You need to transfer to the "tuk-tuk" with all the bags and get to the hotel itself.
Territory. Very small, clean, immersed in the jungle, there is a small clean pool, suites in the tower, from the top floor you can see the ocean above the trees. In the main building there is a reception, a restaurant, a yoga room and a couple of rooms. A couple of minutes walk to the ocean. Monkeys come running to the hotel, our neighbors saw a chameleon on a tree and a scorpion on the balcony.

Rooms. There are about 15 of them in the hotel. Our room was in a separate house. Chipmunks lived on our roof and around 5 in the morning they began to run and squeak, to which we should add the cries of roosters, birds, monkeys and sometimes the howl of dogs. + Early in the morning, the worker starts to jam the lanes : ) In general, the first two nights we hardly slept, and then we got used to it. There are adapters in the sockets. The child was given an extra bed, but without a mosquito cape. There is a mosquito repellent that plugs into the outlet, but it does not help. They put their Raptor - helped. In the rest, the number is satisfied. There is air conditioning and a powerful fan on the ceiling, so it's not hot. There is a mini-bar, kettle, cups, tea, coffee, dry cream, sugar. The room is small, the closet is very small. There is hot water, but sometimes it takes a few minutes to let it run hot. There are lizards running around in the room. Drinking water must be bought in the village, it is cheap.
Food. We had breakfast at the hotel. Very monotonous. Choice of 2 egg dish - scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, 2 sausages (peppered), bacon or ham, freshly squeezed juice or a plate of fruit, toast with jam and tea or coffee. Instead of eggs, you can take oatmeal or yogurt. Everything is not very tasty. It is better to eat in restaurants on the beach.
Ocean. There are restaurants along the beach, you can use their sunbeds with umbrellas and shower for free, but then you need to drink and eat in their restaurant. The prices are cheap. There are strong waves in the middle of the bay, I was once pulled along the shore by a wave, skinned my arms and legs. From the left edge of the bay near the fishing boats, the girl stepped on a sea urchin, drove the thorns into her leg, had to go to the doctor to cut it out (at the same time they gave an antibiotic injection and from tetanus).
We went from the hotel on excursions by minivan. For 8 people, the cost was cheaper than these excursions in the village offered. From our purchases at the tea plantation, spice garden, woodwork factory and jewelry factory, the driver seemed to be paid a percentage : )
Safe. There is a small safe in the room. In the middle of the rest, they entered their code, but the safe does not open... A boy was called to the reception, who cleans the room, he came with a bunch of keys, looked at them, immediately chose the right one and opened the safe in half a second. It seems that 50 dollars were missing, but they didn’t remember exactly the amount in the safe, so they didn’t even swear, after that they carried all the money with them. Our neighbors did this right away, but they constantly rummaged through their bags, cigarettes disappeared from packs. They asked at the reception not to rummage through the bags, then it stopped. We locked the bag.
The staff is pleasant, smiling, they do not speak Russian, they speak English fluently.

We liked the rest at the hotel, complete unity with nature, an unpleasant aftertaste remained only because of the safe.
