Upon arrival, our room wasn't ready, and it seemed quite outdated. The bathroom definitely needs a renovation. While the room was spacious, it lacked sufficient furniture and seemed to be amidst construction noise most mornings at 9 am.

The room was not ready for us at check-in and appeared outdated, with a need for bathroom renovations. There was a lack of furniture, like only one nightstand, and construction noise was a frequent morning occurrence.

Service

The service was a mix of experiences. On one hand, they were kind enough to offer a room change for my parents, but some staff members were rude. Despite this, the majority were friendly, helpful, although language barriers existed.

Location

The location was a mix of positives and negatives. It was convenient - close enough to the action but far enough for relaxation. The proximity to the beach and local amenities was a plus, but construction noise in the area was a downside.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus station, the beach, and many bars and restaurants which is great for exploring the area. The rooms could benefit from more natural light without compromising privacy, with basic but adequate amenities. The service was friendly and helpful, though not always proactive. Overall, a value-for-money accommodation with mixed room features.

6.8/10

The hotel provides a mix of pleasant and not-so-great experiences. The central swimming pool area looks luxurious but can be noisy, affecting sleep quality. Additionally, discrepancies in the room quality and unexpected extra charges upon arrival were a downside. The humid smell in the bathroom, poor Wi-Fi signal, and limited reach added to the mixed feelings.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in didn't match the online description, and I had to pay extra. There was a noticeable humid smell in the bathroom, and the Wi-Fi signal was weak, only reachable by the door.

Service

The cleaning ladies left delightful towel arrangements daily, which was a lovely touch. However, missing out on breakfast coupons was a small disappointment.

Location

The hotel is situated just outside the main tourist spots, providing a peaceful environment. It's within walking distance to central activities, making it a convenient choice for exploring. Proximity to dry cleaning services and transport options adds to the convenience.

Dining

The dining experience was average with limited variety, though the fried fish was a highlight. The service of spoonfuls of eggs and beans was not up to expectations.

Facilities

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and close to the nightlife, offering modern and spacious rooms. However, some elements are dated, and noise from the nearby night club can be bothersome.

The staff was very helpful and courteous overall, offering to change my parents' room to a more accessible location. However, some employees were not very polite, especially in dealing with the ceiling fan issue.

Location

The location was excellent, close to the shopping street, beach, and transport options for exploring nearby areas. It was a pleasant spot away from the tourist traps.

Dining

The dining options were decent, but it would have been nice to see more variety besides eggs and pancakes. However, the free buffet breakfast was a good inclusion.

Facilities
