The hotel's rooms are absolutely filthy and outdated, barely providing cool air, and there were noisy guests with no sound insulation. However, the location is lovely, right on a stretch of sandy beach, but in need of improvements. The dining experience could use more variety, and a traditional bread was available. The service was mixed, with some staff going above and beyond to help, while others lacked privacy awareness.

I stayed in Villa 27, just a 2-minute walk from the beach and pool area. The rooms were updated but a bit dirty. The Wi-Fi in the main restaurant was good. The hotel staff worked hard but sometimes seemed bothered if not ready to order. Ann-Liz, our room service attendant, was exceptionally polite and friendly. The location was spotless and well maintained, offering a clean swim-up bar and waiter service poolside. While the lobby decor wasn't top-notch, the overall cleanliness was impressive. The dining experience was a letdown with late service and repetitive food offerings. Despite some downsides, this hotel still presented a decent value for money.

The hotel is situated in a lovely location on a long stretch of pale sandy beach with palm trees, offering a lively sea experience. Although the beach is beautiful, I found myself waiting a lot for staff assistance and unfortunately got sick after dining at the snack bar. The hotel provides a quieter ambiance compared to the beach pool, beneficial for families seeking relaxation.

Rooms

The rooms, off a 'corridor,' were a bit outdated and excessively humid unless the AC was on. I had to interact with the front desk multiple times upon arrival.

The staff made a significant effort to accommodate our requests, even with language barriers. They arranged for us to switch to a better room and were particularly helpful for a maintenance issue we encountered.

Location

The location is stunning, offering a beautiful beach setting with lively waves. However, I found the hygiene of the staff preparing food somewhat questionable, leading to an incident where I got sick after dining at the snack bar.

Dining

The dining options, while diverse, were unfamiliar to my tastes, so I stuck with simpler choices like pizza and fries. The hotel's 'snack bar/buffet' offered a decent selection, with a noticeable difference in food variety compared to other restaurants.

The hotel offers stunning views and effectively keeps mosquitoes away. The rooms, while spacious, show signs of aging and lack direct ocean views. The service, though very friendly, may not always accommodate special requests without hesitation. The location is superb, especially if you prefer a quieter pool than the beach area. The dining options are varied but the food quality can be inconsistent.
