Not so happy customer
Pros:

We didn't get any contact to staff before our visit in this hotel. They didn't answer our e-mails. But We spent 3 days ar hotel Sanmali. We were only guests at the hotel. Our room was a big disappointment. There was dust, mold and ants everywhere. Good service an friendly staff.

Worth the 18 us I spent on it.
Pros:

The bathroom was kind of dirty when we got there, but besides that it was a fun stay right on the beach. The hotel is a bit old looking.
