Okay
Pros:

Location super friendly staff

Cons:

We were there 15 years ago. Already then problems with leaking ACs . To get in bed and it’s wet is not a fun experience. The housekeepers sorted it out but no compensation

Pros:

The location and staff are absolutely exceptional. Fantastic service. the location on the beach and the views are simply fantastic.

The only negative is that the hotel is now aging terribly. It is now a dowdy old lady. It needs a serious interior overhaul to bring it into the present day.

Worth it for the view and friendly staff.
Pros:

Obviously you can’t fault the location with the Indian Ocean right there. Important to have the pool as the sea is often too rough to swim. The service was friendly, efficient and helpful. Our bedroom overlooking the sea was plain but very comfortable. Some reviews had not been so complimentary but we were pleasantly surprised.

Cons:

It’s obviously a busy hotel but could do with better attention to maintenance. Felt certain appliances in the bathroom hadn’t been noticed for some years as friends who had stayed there 2 years ago found. The bathroom was a bit lacking on shampoos etc
The food was better than expected and wine choice was, unexciting, but okay.

Lovely spot for a short break with super location food and staff
Pros:

Small hotel beach location and great other restaurant in walking distance to compliment super restaurant in hotel
