would not stay there due to the few things we experenced.
Pros:

There is a bar behind the hotel that plays music till 4 am so sleep is not an option. Security was sleeping so it was not safe nor did he resolve the noise. The garden room was not comfortable as you felt like you were in the lobby or kitchen, no ocean views or sounds so not worth it.

Pros:

It is relaxing & beautiful

Cons:

The kitchen during breakfast is very slow.

They also charge a service fee, which they say its for the “kitchen staff” & expect a tip for the waiter

Pros:

早餐还可以

Cons:

我们住在9号和10号。楼下是对外营业的大众餐厅，从早上6点到晚上10点，非常吵闹，房门上也没有猫眼和安全链，没有安全感，因为楼梯就在楼下大门边。谁都可以上来。停车也很·困难，只有4个车位。

Beautiful location but a little disappointed
Pros:

Location
Staff

Cons:

The garden facing room is actually facing the road..
The first room we were allocated was right next to very noisy kitchen fans/equipment
As a light-sleeper,and just expecting the quiet of the beach.. disappointing
Was given a different room
Wish they’d rather given us a choice to upgrade to sea view room..
Rooms not well laid out
Furniture refurbishment needed
Very steep stairs to rooms upstairs
Such an amazing location-the downstairs is so stunning was just expecting the rooms to equal this
