Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers very spacious rooms, though they could use more attention to cleanliness. The staff is friendly and obliging, making for a pleasant stay. The location, close to the beach, is a major advantage while the dining experience could be improved with more options. Overall, a decent value for money choice in a great location.
The hotel is ideally located right across the beach and offers a great family-friendly atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and clean, albeit lacking in design elements. The service was generally pleasant, with a standout from the restaurant staff on Saturday morning. However, the overall vibe felt a bit neglected with some facilities closed, which was disappointing. The dining experience was pleasant, with generous portions and reasonable prices.
The hotel offered spacious and comfortably furnished rooms in a bungalow style but showed signs of excessive rusting and aging, needing replacements. The room service was slack, and requests were met with indifferent looks. However, the rooms were enormous, very clean, and the complex was quiet, offering a relaxing stay.
