Hotel territory and buildings are beautiful but not a best place to stay more than one night
Pros:

Water was really hot. Mesh on top of the bed was helpful. Also there were no other guests at the hotel, it was quite.

Cons:

Hotel was not expecting for us to arrive and didn’t want to let us in until so we had to negotiate with them for a long time for having a booking via website. Even we were the only guests at all hotel it seems that people just don’t need any clients. There was a lot of mosquitoes inside of the room, I asked hostess twice for having an electric fumigator, she said that she will give it to us but she never back. The room was not ready, so we had to wait another 30 minutes. Bathroom was dirty, both bath and sink had a dirt film, with sand, oil and black hairs on the floor, like it was cleaned maybe once per month. I couldn’t even use bath for not getting some disease. So as a pool that haven’t been cleaned for many weeks.
Just after 2 hours I tried to find hostess, or any other worker , but hotel was completely empty.
Breakfast was horrible, besides a juice food was clearly not smelling well and cold like it was just some residues from previous days, so paying extra for a food has no reason.

Cons:

Places run down, not as shows on the online staff so friendly and they tried to do the best they can but the owner is very ignorant and neglect. The place is rundown.
not worth one star.

Not worthy to stay there and not safe.
Pros:

There is nothing to like about it as the hosts over there are not humans. They don't accept the booking.com prices and do over billing. And if you ask for booking.com rates they starts fighting.

Cons:

Didn't like the scammers sitting on the reception.
