Very nice Hotel/Resort with a nice "vibe"!!!
A 3-4 star Hotel/Resort very nice located next to the sea and at the end of town. Walking distance to town and still relatively quiet. A smaller, but clean pool.
Very good breakfast - buffet with eggs at your choice.
Very friendly staff - also helped arranging tours.
The Hotel/Resort had a very nice "vibe" about it!!

It's in a great location & the view from our ocean front room was amazing. The room did need quite a bit of maintenance and they are on the small side.

Had an excellent stay here, each room I had - either as a solo traveller or shared with other people on my tour - was clean, spacious and very comfortable. A couple of rooms are in need of some minor maintenance - a broken switch or tv - but nothing that caused major inconvenience. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the view is spectacular. I'd definitely recommend!

Easy location for the airport. Staff and restaurant were excellent. Rooms felt unclean (no mattress protector and bugs on our bed). Rooms also smelt of tobacco when using air conditioning. Quite a few people around at night with the beach bar next door and we had people try to get into our room during the night as well. So didn’t feel overly safe. Okay for a cheap night when having a flight stopover wouldn’t recommend a long stay.

We found the staff so friendly and accommodating. Our first impression of the site was unimpressive. We found the gravel area from the road and up to the reception counter uneven and there were many weeds growing around the area. The reception counter was very basic and in the open. It was not easy to use in the heat or in the rain. There were many places with steps up and down around the site that were not well lit at night. We checked in at 1AM and we were sent to our room without any instructions of how to get there and we couldn't find any numbers. A printed map would have been useful. The pool was beautifully clean. There was only one bedside table in our room. The shower had great water pressure and hot water.
