My stay at Coral Tree Boutique Guesthouse was good. the cozy atmosphere really felt like a home away from home. I appreciated how spotlessly clean everything was, especially the thoughtfully furnished rooms that had all the essentials. The owners were incredibly friendly and full of local tips, although I did wish for a bit more diversity in breakfast options.
