We had a family gathering for two nights at the hippo hut. We were all very impressed with the property! It was clean, spacious, and in close proximity to the beach. The a/c worked great and was a welcomed change in temperature after being at the beach all day. The owner was quick to respond to questions I had leading up to our arrival. One adjustment I would make is the ping pong paddle handles were broke, making it difficult to use the ping pong table. Overall, we would definitely stay at this property again!
