Many reviews praise kind, helpful staff and attentive kitchen staff; however, there are isolated but severe complaints (reservation cancellation, aggressive manager) that lower a perfect score.
Location
10
Consistently praised for excellent location and proximity to the beach; guests frequently highlight the setting and ease of access.
Room Quality
7.6
Rooms described as comfortable with good beds and spaciousness, but some fundamental issues (missing doors, confusing/outdoor showers, lack of sealing) reduce the score.
Amenities
8.2
Property offers a large pool and pleasant grounds, but reports of poor pool water flow, faulty air conditioning and general maintenance needs limit the rating.

Several guests explicitly state the hotel is good value and recommended, supporting an above-target score.

Breakfast is repeatedly described as excellent, abundant and varied — one of the strongest positives in the reviews.

Cosa triste al final.
Pros:

La ubicación es buena en cuanto a cercanía de la playa.

Cons:

La puerta tenía una ranura muy grande abajo donde entraban los cangrejos y había que estarlos sacando. Fue algo tedioso porque había que estar en eso y fue tan así que tuvimos que abandonar la habitación durante la noche.

Pobyt kompletnie nieudany, przerwany po jednym dniu. Obsługa nie próbowała znaleźć rozwiązania, była agresywna, najgorsz
Pros:

Dobre śniadanie.

Cons:

Fatalna, konfliktowa i momentami wręcz agresywna obsługa (manager), hałas z pobliskiej drogi, brzydki zapach w pokojach.

Good value for price. Great breakfast!
Pros:

Location is great!, breakfast is so yummy! The staff is soooo nice.
Pool is big and has multiple sitting areas. The whole compound is very nice looking and relaxing.
Rooms are very spacious and the outdoor shower is really cool.

Cons:

It was a bit confusing trying to understand how the shower works and the doors are not sealed at the bottom so there were ants and bugs in it the room. We wouldn’t care so much if it wasn’t for our 18mo who tried to catch and eat them ;/
