Natura Lagoon Bungalow 2
There was cockroach poo in the cutlery drawers, and the toaster didn’t work, but other than that everything was fine.

Raina Holiday Accommodation
It totally served the purpose. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, and an excellent location. Not only just over the road from the beach, but a very popular restaurant was only a short walk away. We would go back again to Raina Holiday accommodation.
