Overall we enjoyed the serenity, views and hospitality.
Pros:

-Excellent breakfast and overall kitchen service.
-Excellent location.
-Excellent as check in for early arrival was provided.

Cons:

-Toilet seat was loose and needed to be repaired/replaced.
-Waiters on the deck were few and taking a bit longer to check in on the customer. However, Josias provided excellent service every time he was on duty.

Cons:

The only advice, which I have to the hotel management is to follow the same breakfast all the time. We where for 5 days, so during the weekend it was an amazing breakfast, but during the week days, the breakfast was poor. Even the fresh squeezed juice was not available.

Terrible management but good food and location.
Pros:

Fantastic location and great food.

Cons:

I stayed for 3 nights. Each night I was woken up by hotel music either in the corridor outside my room door or by the music they play at the entrance of the hotel. My room was over looking the entrance. I called reception every night to ask them to turn it off and each night they assured me it wouldn’t happen again. I spoke with the manager and he was totally unhelpful. Seems the staff were also quite clueless to assist. The manager offered no remedy except to move my room at 3am of my final night. The beds were also old and tired and the rooms themselves very dated.

Hier komme ich gerne wieder
Pros:

Personal ist sehr freundlich. Hotel ist im Kolonialstil eingerichtet. Tolle Lage am Strand und das Buffet vom Frühstück ist außergewöhnlich.

Cons:

Das ist eher ein Problem des Landes: Kreditkarten aus Europa gehen häufig nicht durch. Das kann schon etwas ärgerlich werden. Erst das 5. Kartenterminal hatte meine Karte akzeptiert. Das kann einen schon nervös machen.
