Some of the reviews were pretty terrible so was not expecting much from this hotel. However, we had a great room, clean linen, hot water and a working tv, Aircon and kettle! Plus the breakfast was pretty good too! I was more than happy!

Told staff I’d be checking in at 230am. They said security guard would let me in. When I arrived there was no one there and I had to find my own key. Room was filthy, empty water bottles, trash, and leaves. No towels, no sheets, no pillows, and the door lock was taped to the door. The next morning the staff was embarrassed and moved me to another room but refused to credit me for the first miserable night. Continental breakfast is less than expected. Many better options in the area for room and food. Had to file a claim with hotels.com

We booked rooms next to each other, but this was not an option when we arrived. Asked to move room on last day to facilitate a late booking from someone else but had to refuse this request which seemed unreasonable. Room itself was great - large and comfortable with excellent balcony with a sea view as advertised.

Wonderful customer service and the aircon was a welcome relief in the heat. The property was in OK condition and the cleaners were so considerate and helpful. Breakfast was OK with fresh tropical fruits, eggs, toast, juice and coffee. Having the restaurant onsite was great when we just wanted to stay in. TV reception was terrible so we watched movies on our computer which wasnt a problem as the internet was fast (unlike in the villages where reception isnt great). My highlight was the lovely gentleman who works security at night when reception goes home. He was so relaxed, friendly and helpful and was available to see that I got safely to my room when returning late at night from a family funeral. Malo aupito.

Liked: Cleanliness
The fixtures and fittings were in very poor shape especially in the living area and the bathroom. We had to be very careful using old electrical appliances and avoiding falls. On the positive side, the room was large, the beds were comfortable and the bed linen was fresh and clean. Fresh bath towels were provided every day. Breakfast and occasional meals were satisfactory.
