(Jan 2022) The jet spa bath and the view of the ocean was the highlight of staying at this pension. The room we stayed in was spacious with a large couch, tv, bed and a kitchen equipped with bowls, utensils, a microwave, an electric stove, a fridge and an electric pot. They also provide you with one small bar of soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The pension is a walking distance to a mart, a seafood and burger restaurant, a coffee shop and a 711 convenience store. The only downside is that they only provide you with 4 small towels and no complimentary water in the fridge. Also, if you plan to stay for more than one night, it doesn’t seem like there’s an option to have to room cleaned or made up.

Beautiful view and lovely jet spa bath. Clean and everything you need for a weekend getaway
If you're only thinking about the spa and the view, this is the perfect place!! I highly recommend it~~ However, you might find the other facilities a bit inconvenient! First, please note that regarding the kitchen area, there is nothing to cook except for a stove and a small pot!! If you need a large pot or a kettle, please bring your own... Also, please note that there is no rice cooker. As for shower supplies, make sure to bring a loofah~~ And if you need a large towel after the spa, bring that too. But the view alone makes up for everything, so personally, I plan to come back again next time~ though I'll be more thoroughly prepared haha.
I booked through a hotel app! When I first entered, a musty smell assaulted my nose! The windows were so dirty that they fogged up the wonderful view outside! The two owners (a married couple) can be friendly or unfriendly depending on how you behave!
It offers an ocean view, is less expensive than other pensions, and has a spa, making it a great choice for families. The small rooms are well-equipped with a fire extinguisher, emergency lantern, and even a rope ladder, though the lack of a rope ladder was a drawback.
