Villa Lala

Pros +

• The location is great, right on the beach. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was nice, serving a good selection of food which was presented well and tasted lovely. Villa Lala, which is part of Poa Poa Bungalows was very nice. The bed was huge and comfortable, there was ample storage space in the room and it was clean. The villas have a separate outdoor seating area with a pool and sun loungers to relax, which was very peaceful. There is also another pool next to the bungalows by the restaurant but we didn't use this. There are also private sun loungers on the beach. There was live music twice a week which was good. We were half board so didn't venture out much for food but there are a few other restaurants along the beach if you don't want to eat at Poa Poa.
• The property has a good sea view. Double room sea view has a personal balcony with good views.

Cons -

• There wasn't really anything we didn't like about the villa. The only thing that bugged us was that we couldn't walk along the beach during the day without getting stopped by some of the locals trying to sell us things. On our first day, we were approached by a friendly man who told us all about the trips we could go on, which we were interested in doing so he left us to think about it so we could decide which ones to book the next day. Shortly after, another guy wanted us to book trips with him and others were trying to sell bracelets and keyrings, etc. They are all in competition with each other, all trying to get some work and make a bit of money, which is understandable and fair enough. We ended up booking 3 day trips with 3 different people to try and help a few people out. They are all friendly enough people but can be very persistent when you try to say no. It did get a bit annoying when we were just trying to relax and constantly being disturbed. We tried to stick to the pool area by the villa rather than use the sun loungers on the beach but once they knew where we were staying, as soon as we came out of the gate to go to the restaurant or go in the sea, they seemed to be there waiting for us.
• Net is slow. Room was somehow ok.
