The setting right on the water's edge is gorgeous. Good European style breakfast, bread and cheese, no fruit. The people are super helpful and the view is spectacular. You can see over to the Hilton's overwater bungalows. Shower is ok, but the water temp kept changing, beds are comfortable, AC worked great, everything was clean.

There are minimal resources in the room, but enough to get by. This place is a good fit if you are able to make adjustments. No hand towel, face cloth, or dish towels, only two small bath towels. The kitchen was a nice addition, but no table knives if you plan to eat anything that needs cutting. The only restaurants within walking distance on a Wed. or Thurs, are at the super pricey Hilton nearby. The restaurant at the pension is outstanding, but only open Fri-Tues. If you can tune out barking dogs next door and roosters, you won't mind the noise.

I really loved this property, the staff and location were amazing. There’s a great restaurant on site which overlooks the private beach as well as other places to eat nearby. The dormitory was very comfortable and not too hot at night. The beach was good and you have free access to kayaks, great sunset spot too!

Everything... mostly you are at the beach, with your feet submerged while dining or just having coffee.

Maybe none but I didn't know that the restaurant is close during Wednesdays and Thursdays. Although, Maja the owner sold me beers when they were close. That was pretty cool of him.

Breakfast with a view! The owners were very helpful for renting a vehicule and calling for excursions. Very nice to have a fridge and kitchen sink in the room. Nice to have an AC in the room. Nice to be able to swim next to the hotel.

There was a little problem with the hot water, it would be burning hot then cold and made some noises. Maybe because there was alot of people using water at the same time? I did use the AC, but the AC was facing the bed and there was no blankets so I slept with my sweater... No real problems

It's located right at the beach. Kayaks are free and the snorkeling is very good! Good breakfast (included) and dinner.

There's no kitchen or fridge that you can use if you stay in the dorm. You need transport to go places though, and even a bike rent is on the costly side.

The staff at Maheata are exceptional. Attentive to every detail, friendly and accommodating. The facility is well run, maintenance and supplies. They took personal interest in supporting my needs and consistently asked how they could help further. This a rarity in hospitality and I sincerely appreciate their efforts.

Air Conditioner was broken in my room
