Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a perfect location, being right by the road and close to the beach, making it quite convenient. However, the lack of hot water in the shower was a major downside for me. The staff were generally friendly and willing to assist, though language barriers were noticeable, especially since not all of them spoke English well. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but the dining options could definitely use an upgrade.
The hotel is situated in a lovely location; it was easy to find and close to the attractions I wanted to visit. The rooms were decent and equipped with AC and a mosquito net, but I experienced some issues like the lack of hot water and an outdated bathtub. The staff was generally helpful, assisting me with tour arrangements, but I did encounter some unfriendly faces during my stay. Overall, it's a decent choice, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
The hotel has a lovely location right by the beach, which is one of its biggest highlights. The rooms are generally clean but came with some issues, and I found the service to be a bit off, as it seemed to cater more to certain guests. Dining options were quite basic and pricey for what they offered. Overall, while there are some nice aspects, there are definitely areas that need improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On the positive side, the location was absolutely stunning, right in front of the sea, and the staff were generally helpful.

Overall, it had its charm but definitely needs improvements in several areas.

However, the service left something to be desired as there was a noticeable preference for certain guests. The rooms were better than expected but lacked some amenities, and the dining options were basic and a bit overpriced.
