Pros:

It’s our second time staying at Poenamo Hotel, we love the location, so close to all the stores, and the best part is the backyard restaurant with the best food! Staff is always helpful and the room is super clean and tidy

Cons:

Internet is still very bad, If you need internet wifi for work is sooo bad, slow, and sometimes doesn’t even work.
