Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in an excellent spot by the sea with access to a private beach and a huge pool with a swim-up bar. The rooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with new amenities like a TV with many channels and new air conditioning. However, the service was hit or miss, with helpful and smiling staff but also instances of lack of reception for large groups. The dining options were average, with some menu dissatisfaction reported. The location is fantastic for exploring the nearby beaches and enjoying the activities on the lovely island.
Despite the basic rooms in need of an update and the poor dining options, the hotel shines with its beautiful location by the beach and outstanding service. The tired rooms offer comfort but lack modern amenities, and the dining experience could use improvement. However, the lovely location and exceptional service make this stay memorable.
The hotel offers basic rooms with AC and essential amenities but lacks hot water. The location is by the shore, close to attractions, but with some safety concerns near cliffs. The service is remarkable with friendly and hardworking staff. The dining is satisfactory with delicious local dishes. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
