Liked: Great site in a great location. Very friendly owners and well maintained toilet and shower facilities. It's basic but everything you need for a comfortable stay!
Disliked: Mosquitoes!! NOT fault of the site of course, I just note it here to recommend people take a good repellent. Think we just got unlucky with the numbers of them but don't let it put you off!
