Loved staying here! Everyone was so friendly and it was a little slice of paradise. The beach was pristine and loved staying in the traditional fale. Food with the family each day was big portions and fresh and different each day. Would recommend to anyone wanting a down to earth, quiet and beautiful spot.

They have very comfortable new mattresses in the traditional fales- no holes in mosquito nets and bathrooms well maintained and clean. The breakfast was great and the dinners well worth the the small additional charhw
Sleeping in the fale on the beach and listening to the ocean sound was an absolute trip highlight.
The owner and her family were so friendly and welcoming.
The meals were plentiful and delicious.
We would definitely recommend this place.
What a beautiful location. Easy check-in, beach fale clean, bedding was comfortable. Booked for one night, wish it was longer though.
Bathroom and showers easy to get to. Suggest maybe have some hanging hooks to hang clothes up.
Dinner for 6 and was just the right amount. Breakfast was lite - love the pancakes!
My only suggestion would be the strings to tie up the shutters were easier to find - that was a sweat sesh alone ha ha ha...
Overall loved it and hoping to return.
Absolutely beautiful beach!, Family is extremely friendly and the food was amazing! Rustic accommodation but great value for the money

Owners were lovely, other guests were very friendly. Had a nice atmosphere. Room had quite a lot of bugs and quite run down but still comfortable. Free breakfast was good and 35 tala dinner was also good. There was no wifi at all despite the listing saying you could pay for wifi
Owner/staff included visitors in a family celebration; they were so kind and generous. The beach setting is absolute paradise and it is central to so many of the sights. Also a small shop for snacks a 2-min walk away.
We loved our fale with traditional collapsible panels rather than ugly tarp. The fale was right on the beach, simply stunning!
Our host was lovely and helpful. A great place to stay with awesome snorkeling.

4 seniors stayed in motel rooms.
While we expected basic accommodation a few small upgrades would improve things a lot.
Staff were lovely and very friendly.
The beach is idyllic, perfect for snorkeling
