10/10 Exceptional

The property is tidy, quiet, surrounded by greenery. Although its adjacent to the beach, the area is not for public. Rooms are functional with all basic amenities, includes a balcony/sitout also. No restaurants nearby but thats the case with most areas of Samal. The island itself is a relatively unexploited, less touristy, very green, lovely roads to ride/drive. Overall a good stay. They have shared kitchen in case you want to cook yourself. The host is very helpful for all needs.
