Firstly this place is no where close to Ponta D' Ouro. It is 8 kilometers north. The road is a dirt road so it is not motorable unless you have a 4X4 or a Quadbike. The place was full of mosquitoes and the only way to control that was to keep the doors closed. The view from the main deck was spectacular though. ##### Hitesh Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### TH 10 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a bad experience Overall a bad experience. When I arrived there was nobody at reception. I eventually found someone to help me. Room was clean but when I went to the restaurant at 17h30, I was told that the chef has left and there was no food available. Next morning there was no water to shower or wash. I went to reception at 7h00 to report the water problem and doors were all locked and nobody around. ##### TH Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 Jun 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort When staying here make sure you come with own vehicle to get around its rather remote ans isolated.
