I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, and it's very close to the beach and lively nightlife. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they could use some maintenance. The service was generally friendly, although I had a strange encounter regarding room cleanliness. Overall, it's a decent choice for the price, but don't expect everything to be perfect.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they're in the older section and need a bit of maintenance. They overlook a busy road, so it wasn't the quietest experience.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotlessly clean and offered a gorgeous view of the pool, plus the location was just perfect—close to the beach and the nightlife. The staff was mostly friendly and eager to help, but there were some moments when they could be a bit curt. While the dining had a decent variety, they could certainly enhance the breakfast selection. Overall, it was good value for money, but the service could use a slight improvement.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach and the nightlife. The rooms were huge and comfortable, with an amazing balcony offering fantastic views of the Indian Ocean. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the service could be more coordinated. While the pool area was nice, the breakfast options left something to be desired. Overall, it’s a great value for money considering the location and room size, but there’s definitely room for improvement in other areas.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the location is fantastic, right near the beach with beautiful surroundings that offered a peaceful retreat. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. On the other hand, the rooms felt outdated and lacked some basic amenities like a fridge and kettle, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the value for money was decent, but there’s definitely room for improvement in the room quality.
