Das unfreiwillige Deep House Music Hotel
Pros:

Das Hotel hat zwar schon seine besten Jahre gesehen, ist aber noch immer attraktiv. Auch die Zimmerausstattung ist noch immer schön und die Badräumlichkeiten großzügig ausgestattet.
Die Betten sind wirklich angenehm.
Das Personal war bemüht und freundlich. Sie haben auch einen netten Restaurantbereich.

Cons:

Nun, das hat zwar nichts direkt mit dem Hotel zu tun, aber die nahe gelegene ZULA Beach Bar macht bis 4 Uhr in der Früh einen beträchtlichen Wirbel. Ein absolutes NO GO für Leichtschläfer. Wir konnten trotz der lauten Musik gut schlafen.
Irgendwie kommt es einen vor, dass es zwischen Hotel und Barbesitzern einen Kampf gibt, da auch bei Regen (wo keiner draußen gesessen ist) Aussenlautsprecher den ganzen Strand laut beschallen.

They need to not give guests rooms near the club
Pros:

The hotel is really beautiful and I loved the facility. I was unhappy with the fact that they gave us a room near a club and we were up all night until 2am in the morning. Mind you we were there for work and that greatly disturbed us.

Pros:

Close to restaurants and on the harbor.

Cons:

The monkeys.

The music played almost the whole night they must at least turn off at 00h00 so we can rest.

The bin at the toilet need replacement.
