    Friendly, cheap, good vibes, all amenities you need except laundry (although I didn’t ask, just didn’t see any signs about laundry) and a swimming pool with a lovely chill garden and serving nice food and drinks, hammocks, tables, sun beds etc. also sofas indoors with a tv and Netflix. Beds have two USB ports for charging, reading light and privacy curtains. A perfect oasis before and after backpacking! Would definitely stay again
