Pros:

The restaurant was good. The staff was polite. The beach was beautiful!

Cons:

Room was awful: old, dirty, nasty. They had carpet all over the room and it rained and the window leaked, so the carpet gets all wet all the time and the room is full with nasty smell of dampness. Conditioner works, but too loud to keep it on at night. Awful

Beautiful stay
Pros:

We had a really great stay here. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, and the pool is large, modern, and very well maintained. The outdoor areas are also beautifully kept.
The real highlight, though, was the food. Breakfast was fantastic, and we also had dinner here twice. The meals were delicious and very reasonably priced.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always very helpful. They even helped us book a wonderful dolphin-watching experience.

Cons:

The rooms were quite basic and small, with very little natural light, and the bathroom was also rather basic. That said, the accommodation was perfectly sufficient for a short stay of a few days. All of the negative points were more than compensated for by the beautiful outdoor areas, the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and, above all, the excellent food. Overall, a lovely place to stay, and we would happily come back!

Good for backpackers but couples/families can avoid
Pros:

Staff was very helpful and the pool was nice and clean. Food/breakfast was a decent spread.

Cons:

The property is more for backpackers so the facilities were a bit basic. The room is small (has an AC though) and the washroom could have been better.

Pros:

Bella piscina (ma con solo due sdraio!), buona colazione.

Cons:

Le camere sono francamente orribili. Vecchie, malmesse, il bagno si allagava, non c’era niente dove mettere i vestiti quindi si stava con la valigia aperta per terra, e poi buia e con un’’incomprensibile moquette per terra. Accoglienza senza sorrisi, senza succo di benvenuto…non ci torneremmo.

Pros:

La location très près de la plage.
Magnifique piscine très sympa de s y baigner après une après-midi dans la mer.
Personnel très gentil

Cons:

Sur les 3 chambres manque de propreté dans les salles de bain
1 des SDB était humide chambre 4
Et la 3 La douche plafond ne fonctionnait pas
Évacuation bouchée
Mauvaises odeurs

Chambre 6 la salle de bain a besoin d’un coup de peinture et d’un coup de Nettoyage
Le sol de la chambre ne fait pas propre
Dommage, si tous ces points sont revus le lieu sera superbe

Pros:

Hotel con piscina e stanze con aria condizionata (la nostra perdeva un po' di acqua che ha bagnato la coperta). Colazione ottima e abbondante. Bagno piccolo senza finestra con un po' di odore

Pros:

Der Außenbereich mit dem neuen Pool war super. Wir würden lediglich noch ein paar Liegen und Sonnenschirme auf der freien Rasenfläche empfehlen, aber das ist vielleicht alles noch im Aufbau. Das Frühstück war lecker und reichhaltig.

Cons:

Bei unserem Zimmer hatten wir leider etwas anderes erwartet. Wir hatten keine Scheibe in unserem Fenster und auch nicht wenigstens ein Moskitonetz. Es wurde auch mit einem Schild empfohlen den Holzladen zu zu lassen damit keine Moskitos hineinkommen. Also blieb der Holzladen zu was faktisch dazu führte, dass wir kein Tageslicht im Zimmer hatten. Das Wort Deluxe Doppelzimmer und auch die Fotos suggerierten jedoch, dass wir ein Tageslichtzimmer gebucht haben. War für zwei Tage in Ordnung, man hält sich ja auch die meiste Zeit draußen auf, aber schade war es trotzdem. Bei anderen Zimmern haben wir Scheiben in den Fenstern gesehen. Den Teppichboden würden wir entfernen, das macht in einem Land mit feuchtem Klima, mit Pool und Strand in der Nähe einfach keinen Sinn und ist unhygienisch.

Piscina y desayuno
Pros:

Espectacular piscina y zona de jardín y espectacular desayuno! A un paseo de la playa y zona de restaurantes, buena ubicación.

Cons:

La habitación era un poquito justa de espacio y el baño olía a humedad, pero con un poco de ventilación hemos estado muy a gusto.
