Communication was difficult, part of that was my fault. The host was kind enough to accommodate an early check in. The place is dated, and not equipped for a beach day,. There were only three towels for showering, and they were thin and crunchy. The lights from outside shine in the bedroom windows at night because the window shutters did not work. The place was not conducive to a good nights sleep because of the noise outside, light and the fact that there were no blankets.
