性价比太低 不值得
Pros:

只有面积是满意的 房间大小还可以

Cons:

酒店进门像一个巨大的停车场 房间没有吹风机 前台大叔也很难沟通 我们check in的时候说没有我的订单 然后就停顿在那里很久 我要检查他手里的订单 我的名字就在他手上 不知道何用意 房间的空调特别吵特别吵 甚至影响人的正常作息 所以很多时候我们是没有开空调的 房间里的一切用品都很简陋 感觉这个老板建这个酒店的时候应该用了最小的成本 这个价位真的可以订到更多更好的 除了有个泳池真的没啥说的了 而且泳池的景观也很一般 有一摊破烂闲置在那里

Pros:

Rooms are very spacious, had access to the pool and tennis courts, location was slightly out of town but is still walkable.

Cons:

The road to walk towards the hotel is light up, it can often be unsettling walking on the road on your own and can sometimes be difficult to pick up tuktuk as they often don’t travel in that direction.

Hatten schöne 4 Nächte
Pros:

Schöner, sauberer Pool. Schöne ruhige Unterkunft. Toller Ausblick von der Terrasse.
Freundliches Personal.

Cons:

Klimaanlage war leider sehr laut, selbst wenn man auf kleinste Stufe geschaltet hat.
Ein kleiner Kühlschrank wäre noch super gewesen.
Leider keine Möglichkeiten Sachen aufzuhängen. Ein paar Kleiderbügel und/oder Harken wären gut.

Good
Pros:

Friendly staff, nice pool, good food at the restaurant.
Location is 10/15 min walk, so bit remote but OK. Which wasn't nice is that they planned a tournament on one of our days whiteout telling us. So we woke up with loud music, loads of people on the terrain and a guy shouting scores for the tournament, which wasn't really pleasant. Especially that they didn't tell us that this was going to happen.

Superb
Pros:

Its new place in moalboal so the rooms are nice the staff is very kind and helpfull you can ask anything from them, also the food was really good, location is walking distant from everywhere. We stayed 4 nights here and really enjoyed our stay.
They dont offer housekeeping yet but if you need more paper or want them to take the trash or something just ask them.
