Pleasant if a bit sterile.
Pros:

Pleasant and helpful front desk staff. Comfortable bed.Strong air con,strong wifi signal. It's a good 15 -minute walk to the main area on Orient Beach,where most of the beach beds, and restaurants are located.
Hotel was nice and mostly quiet-no traffic noises. Automatic roll down shutters kept out the light,although the mechanism is a bit loud ; I was awakened each morning about 6 by my neighbor rolling up their blinds. Overall I had a pleasant stay although next trip I will choose a different hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast was the type one sees at a 1 or 2-star hotel in France . White bread.Stale cornflakes.Sugary granola. That's about it.Some melon cubes,and plain white yogurt too.
No apples,no bananas,no oranges,no porridge,no oatmeal,no prunes, no blueberries,no strawberries,etc . No multigrain breads.
If you order the egg platter(for a surcharge) it comes with previously frozen deep fried hash browns-the type they serve on airplanes. The breakfast staff was polite and efficient.And I appreciated their making me a soy latte each of my 7 mornings there.

Disappointing
Cons:

The aircon was poor
The resort is a series of bungalows like a motel with shared pools and no sea views

On ne peut pas appeler ceci un hôtel
Pros:

Gentillesse de la receptioniste Belge en stage
Bungalow propre , bon accueil,

Cons:

C Est pas un hôtel . C est un domaine de maisons de 1 ou 2 chambres comme un quartier de villas avec des routes , voitures qui circulent . Dans ce domaine de plusieurs km , on fait rien à pied , il faut une voiture . Il y a plusieurs restaurants .
Certaines villas sont loues et deviennent donc des chambres d hôtel .Une réception dans un autre bâtiment , à 80 mètres de la notre ouvert jusque 22h . Pas de facilites pour les bagages , pas de portier , porteurs , c est la fille de la réception qui nous a aidé . Le domaine (hôtel) n a pas de restaurant mais à fait un accord avec les resto du coin ( plusieurs)pour leurs clients . Les plages également sont publiques mais permettent au clients d y venir avec une serviette de bain reçu par l hôtel mais sans réservations pas de place … comme c est des plages publiques tout les habitants de l île ont déjà réservé donc full
