Small hotel beach location and great other restaurant in walking distance to compliment super restaurant in hotel

Furniture in room tired but will forgive this because of the brilliantly friendly staff and excellent chefs especially the prawn curry!

Pros:

Excellent sea view from pool. Food was excellent.

Cons:

Room poorly insulted and was extremely noisy up and until midnight. Light seeping in from windows and door Extremely expensive for a room that does not have a sea view and felt like we were sleeping in a servant quarter. Will definitely not pay proper money for such poor accommodation. Was extremely disappointed as I expected a high quality of stay. If the room is not properly upgraded to suit the guest house it should be offered a much lower rate so as to not create the impression that the room is a quality suite. I really felt like I was defrauded and am really disgusted.

Not considering people who are there for vacation. Only events
Pros:

Easier to access the beach

Cons:

Noise. Couldn’t even sleep. I wish they had told me prior that they had an event so that I wouldn’t go there for my honeymoon.
