FIL-IT

I was surprised by this little gem sitting right in front of the beach 1 minute away from the pier where all boats leave for island hopping. All the happening streets are just walkable distance. Can get bit noisy at night. But it didn’t when we stayed. The place is clean and nicely kept. Real value for money that we paid. I always stay in 5 star hotels. But had to stay here as there was no availabllity. But it was an experience in itself.

I guess you cannot always expect for everything to be luxurious. This is more like a room inside of a house. The beach and the dock is just there but this house is located inside a humble neighborhood surrounded by other local houses. I couldn't stand the noise outside during the day, especially a man that was there working, hammering nails on a piece of roof that I actually had to open my window to tell him something. The shower wasn't working really well so I had to just shower also by using a bucket and filling it up with water. The worst thing about this is that the Wi-Fi wasn't really working even if I had to get near its router (I had to report it twice to the person that's in charge).They need to update their contact info because the one that's listed it's very hard to get ahold of somebody. I'm also leaving photos from the people you might want to contact as soon as you check in.

The superior apartment is perfect for a family. It is right by the ferry port and close to all the restaurants and shops, but is at the quiet end. The WiFi isn't the best but that was good because it meant the kids weren't on their phones all the time! The shower was either super hot or cold, but again not really a problem because who wants a hot shower in 30⁰C+ heat?? Lovely local people living near by too. We loved our stay here.

The accommodation is ok, just very basic. The internet doesn’t work and there were several power outages during my stay. The noise outside was unbearable and I couldn’t sleep at all. The owner seemed a nice enough guy.

Budget friendly for families, separate bedroom in apartment! Full equipped kitchen 😁 only 30 meters away from boat dock for tours. Great place if you want to stay independent. We had fine 5 days there. 2 aircons and water heater.
