Relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in the 4 bedroom beach cottage.The rainforest setting and the spa was so relaxing. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and it's in a great location away from the crowds but just a short walk to the beach. I would definitely stay again.

TV didn’t work, shower head was loose and you had to hold it to shower, requested and confirmed at booking a specific room but not available on check in. Owner was friendly but 4th time staying and not the same as previous times and probably won’t stay again.
