This place is an absolute gem for nature lovers and kite enthusiasts! The atmosphere is super laid-back and feels like a community, which I totally enjoyed. While the rooms are really basic and small, they offer stunning views, and the vibe makes up for it. The access to kiting and the beach is a big plus, but make sure you know that the rooms don’t come with air conditioning which can be a bit of a downside.
