Not as expected.
Pros:

The location is awesome!! Close proximity to the beach and many other amenities and activities. Friendly staff.

Cons:

What is shown is totally different to what the facility actually looks like which is quite disappointing especially after booking is done. Rooms look totally different from what is shown here. Environment too. It isn’t as white and bright as the pictures here. No slipper offered in the room. The towel is faded and has fade stains it looked overly used. The room needs some maintenance, sink and toilet were falling apart. No Hot Water for Shower. Water disappears in the middle of the night till morning. Besides great location and friendly staff, every thing else was disappointing.
