Right place to enjoy local nature
Pros:

Beach is great, very secluded, although public there were not many strangers, mainly hotel guests. This place allows you to submerge into jungle atmosphere and embrace nature but at the same time feel safe, we saw peacocks, squirrels, mongoose, crabs, fireflies. Great place for family!

Cons:

Due to a structure of cabanas they don't have air conditioners, only fans. It might get very hot.
Food in the main restaurant could be better. Reception is shut from 8pm till 8am.

Sehr schöner Urlaub im Dschungel
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben, sehr schöne Villa, dass Badezimmer mit einer Mega Dusche. Wir kamen aus dem Dschungel und fühlte uns auch wieder gleich im Dschungel, der Strand war sehr schön mit großen Wellen. Man konnte gut außerhalb essen.

Cons:

Das Frühstück musste man leider am Abend schon vorbestellen, es wäre schöner am Morgen sich zu entscheiden für welches Frühstück man essen möchte

Not a bad place but also not a great place. All around ok.
Pros:

The staff is so kind. Especially the waiters and the cleaning staff. The beach itself is amazing. Ping pong table was nice.

Cons:

The hotel doesn’t have facilities on the beach which is unfortunate. The food is not very good. We ate here twice and it was not at all to our liking. The mattress was stained. Great beach but next time I would stay at a different hotel. The pool hours are limited in my option I would kindly ask if they could close one hour later.

Very disappointing
Pros:

Location on beach and natural surroundings with great beach restaurants and bars.

Cons:

Owners are miserable and unfriendly and while their story may have been something exciting in the 80s its really not a nice atmosphere and the staff mostly seem miserable too. Very unclean, not properly maintained at all, needs a desperate freshen up and modernising items like showers and decent chef as the quality of food is desperate. We didnt bother even going for coffee breakfast was that bad. Overpriced, stay somewhere else nicer for cheaper.

Disappointing
Pros:

Right on beach but dont expect a sea view. Privacy. Space.

Cons:

Not maintained, overpriced for the facilities compared to other options in the area but most of all just so dirty and nothing maintained well. Such a pity. Could be so much better if more women working in the facilities. The food including breakfast was poor.

Das Preisleistungsverhältnis hat uns leider nicht überzeugt
Pros:

Eine sehr schöne grüne Anlage mit einem schönen Poolbereich. Direkt am Strand gelegen. Kostenlose Fahrrädern um kleine Ausflüge zu den umliegenden Stränden zu machen. Außerdem freundliches Personal und gutes Essen im Hotel.

Cons:

Die Cabanas sind ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen.
Nachts war es teilweise sehr laut, da die Cabanas keine Fenster haben und z.B. die Hunde laut gebellt haben und die Warmwasseranlage auf dem Dach durchgängig geplätschert hat.
Außerdem hatten wir einige Insekten in der Cabana unter anderem eine Kakerlake.
Das Hotel liegt zwar direkt am Strand, allerdings hat man dort keine eigenen Liegen und der komplette Strandabschnitt ist voll mit Restaurants und man kann nicht gut im Sand liegen.
