Overall it was nice, the staff are very friendly and helpful
Pros:

The breakfast is more or less fixed, you have limited choice to make

Cons:

The restriction of not to use the Lala Galu Hotel nearby which looks like a sister hotel and yet you can only passthrough to access the beach.

Good short stay. Excellent location. Highly recommended.
Pros:

V good location. Its sister establishment, Lala Galu, has a lovely beach front bar/restaurant that Boxo guests have access to.

Cons:

There was only 1 bath towel in the room and it had holes in it. My booking clearly stated 2 adults. Well past midnight, some hotel guests chose to swim in the pool with total disregard for sleeping guests. There was no notice by the pool and it was only when a member of staff came and told them swimming at that time is not allowed that they came out of the pool. The rooms are not sound proof, you can hear all the noise from outside, though I appreciate the novel container concept. The room needs better cleaning in the nooks and crannies.
