“Very good”
+The peacefulness of the place. The room is spacious and there's a wide parking area.
−Maybe the location because it was far from town and it's a bit of a challenge if you don't have your own car. But at least there are public transactions available to get you around.

“NOT OUR KIND OF RESORT!!!”
+It is direct on the beach, has strong wifi, ample parking, very efficient caretaker who is ready to assist you anytime. The property is pet friendly, REASON WHY I CHOSE JCALM, so we brought along our little dog. There is an outdoor common kitchen with utensils and provision for plates, cutleries and glasses.
−Misleading pictures!!! It isn't the kind of family resort that one would expect, but it's a duplex cottage on a private under developed property. The way to find the entrance was complicated, without signage of any kind. The surroundings is sort of depressing. There is no TV in the room, no provision of towels and toiletries, not even at least toilet paper. There's a double bed and a bunk bed in our room with thin, cheap mattresses. The provided blankets are quite thin too and not enough for four guests. The bathroom has no water heater, there's no kettle in the room, and no complimentary coffee or water. There are stray dogs roaming around, one even came up to our terrace, probably looking for food. It was quite worrisome!!! Surely, these dogs aren't vaccinated, so we tried to keep our Shih Tzu pet away from them as much as possible. Who knows what could happen? They might attack her or us!!! The owners must not only be concerned about making profits! They need to look after the wellbeing and comfort of their guests, afterall, we are paying guests!!!

“ENJOYABLE AND MEMORABLE STAY”
+The cottage is just few steps from the beach, with open kitchen with enough tables and chairs for the group of friends or family gatherings to seat, dine and enjoy the sea view and breath the see breeze. Jonathan and Wilma are very helpful and friendly, they can be requested at your own free will to give for their effort if you want them to cook: for example I requested them to fry the fresh fish and squids. I requested Jonathan to rent a karaoke and were having fun and lovely night singing and dancing together with them too as we invited them to join us. We did also night beach walking catching small crabs.

“Not CALM at all”
+Good aircon Bunk beds are all double sized Caretaker is attentive
−- curtain is used as blanket! - we were charged 200 for use of kitchen (gas) and 50 for drinking water. - beachfront was dirty with broken bottles, we had to clean up - not a swimmable beach - not CALM waves. Not sure if this is seasonal. And too many rough pebbles - there was an ongoing boat building or repair and electrical extension was tapped on our porch which made going in and out of our room difficult. They should not inconvenience guests - the stores charge tourist prices and incomplete (we almost could not buy rice) - you have to go out to the highway to buy what you need. - the road going out to the highway is very dark at night with many stray dogs - no floor drain the the toilet (not shower area) so CR becomes flooded easily
