Pros:

Die Lage ist einfach spitze! Außerdem ist der Pool super schön angelegt und man kann hier ein paar ruhige Stunden verweilen. Insgesamt ist die Unterkunft ruhig gelegen, abseits vom Straßenlärm. Das Personal hat für uns preislich fair eine Lagoon Safari sowie eine Safari in den Kumana Nationalpark organisiert.

Cons:

Das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis ist nicht ganz passend. Wir fanden es etwas teuer, dafür dass die Zimmer nur sehr Basic ausgestattet sind. Das Bett ist sehr hart.

Nice stay
Pros:

The hotel is close to the beach and the main spots in town. We stayed in the private room for the first part of our stay and then in the mixed dorm for the second part of our stay. Both rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was professional and always ready to help.
