Recommended but ensure you've done research for restaurants/shops etc
Pros:

Although we checked out same day, as it wasn't convenient for the children - running into glass doors (and wife -- food/access to town) i can't really fault the property, management, staff (very friendly).

Recommended, but understand there's not many restaurant choices, shops nearby (this was our failure) as it was booked last minute

Cons:

Not really much can be said negative, except for things outside of the properties location, if looking for a relaxed setting and non-commuting whilst enjoying the quiet location, then its the place to be.

Pros:

Was spacious, clean and safe. Highest compliments go out to Issah (he ensured our stay was as comfortable as possible and tried his best to meet our needs) and Shadrack ( warm welcoming on our first night and ensured our safety at all times). We appreciated that the owner was reachable and communicated at all times when necessary. Very peaceful and relaxing time spent at the villa.

Cons:

Unfortunately due to airconditioning issues, two of the kids had to be moved around to different rooms. Two days later they were moved back to the original unit with the non functioning air conditioner -we were advised that there were other guests arriving. Frequent power outages (no fault of the hotel and they have a generator in those instances). Would like to see clear signage for the hotel to make it easier for shuttle services and tour companies to identify pick up points.

It was excellent and enjoyable and loved the concept of no Tvs in and around the hotels
Pros:

I think generally the route to the hotel should be easy to identify otherwise we would have gone round cycles had it not been for us asking a random person for directions.

Cons:

Not just where we stayed but a general observation is that the beaches are not well maintained whether by respective hotels or the municipal people cause too much trash gets washed ashore during high tide moments and what ends up remaining is an eyesore not from the sea weed but other foreign matters such as plastic bottles etc!

The location is excellent, very quiet and peaceful, my aim for vacation was to stay in a quiet place, no parties, no loud music, - only nature. Hotel is lovely! Satisfied with room service;) staff very good, helpful and polite:) not far from the hotel there is a supermarket, money exchange. I had a wonderful stay! Local cats are cute:)

Location con forte degrado e cimici del letto
Pros:

In questo hotel non c'è nulla di buono , sarebbe una buona struttura , ma è in uno stato di abbandono e degrado .

Cons:

Una situazione imbarazzante .La 1° notte ci siamo fatti cambiare stanza perché il wc aveva l asse completamente rotta e la porta del bagno non si chiudeva , oltre a essere sprovvista di luci sui comodini.
SECONDA STANZA : scarico doccia intasato , odore di fogna molto forte che saliva dal wc, e per non farci mancare nulla le CIMICI DEL.LETTO che mi hanno divorato ....la piscina ha sempre avuto le pompe ferme, i gradini per l accesso al mare , ceduti e attorniati da immondizie che ho personalmente spostato.

Pros:

It is a normal hotel

Cons:

to be honest not worth the money paid for it, as the first thing the owner told me that they dont have a room for us even though i booked a month ago because they had double booked and they adjusted us in the side hotel for a night which was not as good as the money we paid for
