Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a nice location by the main eating restaurant and a gorgeous little bay facing the ocean. The rooms lack toiletries and a duvet inside the bedcover, and the air conditioning is a bit dodgy. The service is satisfactory, especially for car hire and laundry. The dining options are limited to hot dogs only. The facilities are basic but clean.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the air conditioning was not great and there were no toiletries or a duvet inside the bedcover. The service was decent, but the paid shuttle service was a bit pricey. The location was a bit inconvenient as it was not on an accessible beach. However, the homemade bread served at the dining area was a nice touch.
The hotel is not located on an accessible beach, and the rooms have no toiletries or a duvet inside the bedcover with dodgy air con. On the upside, the service was excellent and the location offers a nice area to stay.
The hotel is ideally located near the beach and close to various tourist attractions. While the rooms are clean and comfortable, the lack of toiletries and a duvet inside the bedcover should be addressed. The service is satisfactory with helpful staff, and the dining options, though offering various salads, could be more diverse. The facilities are decent, but amenities need improvement for better value for money.
What a gem! The hotel offers a great location near the beach and is surrounded by nice restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the staff is super helpful. However, the air con was unreliable, and the lack of toiletries and duvet was a downside. The price was reasonable for what we got.
