You get what you pay for. Pleasant and accomodating staff, food and drink available as were some activities (ie surf lessons), but really no frills.
Anthony, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed in one of the cylinder rooms for my 40th birthday. It was a super unique room and I'm glad I booked it. It still had shared restrooms, but the restrooms were well kept and super clean. The cylinder rooms have an A/C unit as well, so it is easy to get the room down to a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The rest of the resort is also amazing. They have a surf school, nice, clean outdoor pool, and a full-service bar and restaurant. I would absolutely recommend this place and especially the cylinder rooms for anyone looking for somewhere unique to stay.
