This place didn't exist on Google maps so I added it once I arrived here. Low season prices (middle October) are 35$ for the front row bungalows, 30 for the second and 25 for the back (after some haggling , as we are staying for a few nights). Bungalows have: porch, hammock (important) two chill- chairs and some even have a little table. In the room there are fans for each bed, mosquito nets for each bed, a little table, blankets and sheets, toilet paper (we had to ask for it), and cold water shower.

The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was always cleaned when we stepped out for breakfast and was always ready for our return. Overall no complaints and...
Read moreStayed in one of the bungalows while yes it is up a steep hill it is away from all the craziness and it is quiet. ||The bungalow was clean and mosquito net did its job.The happy elephant bungalows have wonderful views of the ocean.||The main reason I wanted to write this review was to say that Ben at the desk is a lovely turkish guy who was very friendly and kind and chatty.||My phone stopped working 2 days previous to my stay here and on passing by mentioned this to Ben who quickly jumped on his laptop and was onto apple support and 2 minutes later he had my phone up and going again.||I was thrilled to bits that he even took the time to help a damsel in distress!!||For this kindness alone I would recommend to stay...
