Lovely welcome, super friendly & helpful.
Pros:

The welcome we received here was lovely, the manager Joshi was wonderful, so helpful, kind and welcoming. The hotel is in a great location and the restaurant is great and the place is brightly decorated so always feels welcoming when to arrive.

Cons:

The bathroom shower was rather basic, but did the job!
Unfortunately the pool hadn't been cleaned sufficiently and was rather dirty which spoilt the experience. This could be easily solved with regular cleaning.

Not due to the hotel, but you're not allowed to simp in the sea.
