It's a great spot to chill and unwind, but could use some improvements. The owner is super friendly and accommodating! I'll definitely come back.

It's a great and peaceful spot by the ocean with a small pool where you can swim, have drinks, and enjoy some food. The only downside is the difficulty in accessing the location.
