We loved our beautiful room, the natural setting and delicious food. The accommodations were great with snorkeling equipment to borrow, flashlights for the volcano park etc. We highly recommend At the Beach with Friends.
4.0 out of 5Delightful and in a natural setting
February 26, 2012
We found this B&B to be delightfully located in natural setting which included an assortment of native birds and a large title pond. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom is en suite and very clean also. So, we are thinking these other reviews are fake reviews and if they put enough stars on the reviews their authenticity is not checked.
2.6 out of 5Nice but overpriced

I found the room to be a bit dull and dusty for the price. Also the lack of air conditioner and intense sound of the frogs made it difficult to sleep. The breakfast was surprisingly very good.
