Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited dining options — There's no on-site restaurant; only vending machines are available, so you'll need to head out for meals.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:30, so late arrivals after this time won't be accommodated.
  • No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the guest house doesn't accept them.
  • Beach requires a drive — Araca Cove Beach is a 10-minute ride away, not within walking distance.
