I had a wonderful stay at this place, which is just a stone's throw from the beach. The room was spacious and well-furnished, offering an incredible view of the ocean. The caretakers were a huge help with our luggage. However, the path leading to the hotel can be tricky to navigate in the dark, and it's worth noting that there are no dining options on-site. All in all, it was a fantastic value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at The Little Elephant House, which has a cozy atmosphere and offers easy beach access. While my ground floor apartment was nice, it felt a bit dark, and the noise from crows could be bothersome for light sleepers. Overall, it's a decent option with good value for a beach getaway, especially for families needing spacious accommodations.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with its helpful owner and clean, nicely appointed rooms. The little garden added a charming touch, and I appreciated the close proximity to the beach. However, it would have been nice to have some tea and coffee available in the morning as many cafes were closed early. Overall, it provided great value for my stay with excellent service and a cozy atmosphere.

I had a great time at The Little Elephant House, which offers a cozy stay in a good location just off the main beach with a lovely sea view. The apartment was a bit dark, but it still had a nice charm and was spacious enough to accommodate my needs. However, I did find the crows somewhat noisy during my stay, which may not be ideal for everyone. Overall, it's a solid choice for a beach getaway.

I had somewhat mixed feelings about my stay. On one hand, the rooms were beautiful and had a lovely view, which was a highlight. However, there were some significant issues with the services and facilities provided. For the price I paid, I expected better overall comfort and amenities. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by inconsistent service and dining options.
