I stayed at the Chantauvent Guest House in January 2024. The room I was assigned was on the beach side of the hotel, which spans two sites separated by a street. Notably, the pool is located on the opposite side, away from the beach. Firstly, the beach side accommodation was disappointingly cramped; the room was so small that it was impossible to open two large suitcases at once. Moreover, it was infested with bugs and ants. The fridge was barely functional, and the room had an overpowering odor of sweat, which was quite repulsive. The closet emitted a moldy smell, which I couldn't quite identify. The bathroom, equipped with a sliding door, was a challenge as it wouldn't open properly. This was particularly inconvenient at night, as struggling with the door was noisy enough to wake anyone up. Additionally, the lack of ventilation in the bathroom, which opened directly into the bedroom, was a significant drawback. The toilet's plumbing was excessively loud, posing a problem for couples, as using it would inevitably disturb the other person's sleep. The bed was a further disappointment — not only was it small, measuring just 140 cm in width, but the mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. Although the beachfront is not suitable for swimming due to the rocky terrain, snorkeling there was enjoyable. However, the staff seemed indifferent and unresponsive to guests' needs. In summary, while the exterior of the buildings is charming, the comfort level is severely lacking. I would only recommend this place for a one-night stay, perhaps as a stopover before heading to the airport. For a longer visit, I would advise against it due to the numerous discomforts.
