Lapyahan Guest House

The beach was lovely, private, and peaceful, and there was a free kitchen to use, which was really handy. For the price, I think you're paying for the beach view, though having that kitchen included is a nice extra. The room was cozy and quiet, clean, but a bit cramped. The toilet wasn't especially fresh, though it was fine. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, so I was really happy with the stay.

You can cook right there by the beach, which felt like a dream, and it's included in the stay. There’s a fruit stand outside that also sells eggs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are simple and the bathroom could've been cleaner, but I was happy with the beachfront value. I felt comfortable, slept really well since it was away from the parties, and loved my time here. I'd recommend it.

Owners and caretakers are kind and really hospitable. You can use the kitchen utensils, and drinking water is free. The beachfront location is ideal. A great pick for travelers on a budget, though probably not for picky people. There are lots of friendly dogs around, and sometimes they sit beside you while you're having a few beers by the beach.

After nearly a week of trying to reach the caretaker, we were caught off guard when she suggested we find somewhere else because the place had just one staff member and electricity problems. It made us wonder why a business would tell customers that things weren't in good shape. Red flag. Getting information about the rooms was difficult. She was slow to respond, and we kept calling and texting, then repeating our requests because communication never seemed clear.
