Reviews
Overall, the hotel has great potential, but unfortunately, it is completely untapped. The hotel has two advantages: a large pool with an ocean view and all rooms offering ocean views—of course, the higher the floor, the better the view. And that’s where the positives end. There is no service at the hotel whatsoever. Rooms are not ready on time for check-in. Contrary to the descriptions, there is no bar at the hotel. The food is „so so”, and all three meals a day are almost the same. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. You have to provide your own drinks, snacks, and refreshments because there is no bar. There is mold on the walls. The hotel is also partially under renovation. Overall, I do not recommend it. For this price, you can find something better and in a much more interesting location.
Rooms are very basic and full of cheap material and bit dirty too, but no floor carpets. Garden is not maintained at all. Swimming pool is comparatively large and very deep at the deep about 9 feet. It looked disgusting when we arrive there by mid day. but once cleaned looked ok.
Not recommending for families with kids since day time full of small parties.
This could have been converted in to a very good place for day outings if the management use professional staff for the hotel.
