4 Frustrating

Although their prices are good, it saddened me to witness an animal tied up day and night in a desolate area near the beach. According to the neighbors, there used to be two dogs, but one of them passed away.

The beach is extremely clean and safe. It is conveniently located just across the street, although the view is somewhat limited due to neighboring houses. The owner of the beach is incredibly friendly and accommodating, despite not being fluent in English. However, communication still goes smoothly. The rooms are quite basic, consisting of a bed and possibly a nightstand. On the other hand, the upstairs living room is well-equipped with a TV and comfortable furniture. The hostel boasts very nice furniture throughout. Unfortunately, there is no internet available, but cell phone reception is acceptable. Adjacent to the hostel, there is a small restaurant and bar owned by the same person. Both food and drinks are available, although the quality of the food is not that great. For instance, breakfast only includes two eggs, coffee, and a piece of bread, without any juice, meat, jelly, etc. The overall quality of the food is quite low.

The service at this beach is incredibly friendly, and the food is excellent! The staff truly makes us feel like part of their family. However, it's important to note that the missing stars prevent a completely fair assessment.
