secluded location unfriendly staff

The room was quite spacious and neatly decorated. The staffs are accommodating.

The location felt a bit too secluded. Getting around required taxis, costing quite a bit. The nearest beach was not suitable for swimming due to low tide. I also found the staff not particularly friendly.
