There is NO reception at this hotel. No one to speak with . If you are an international visitor you have to call locally to some fellow to check you in. Customers are always looking around to find staff. The poor cleaners take a beating from customers looking for service personnel. How can you run a hotel and not deal with customers who have questions?

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Extremely basic room and very dated. There was only less than half a roll of loo paper in the bathroom. We could not locate anybody at reception for more. We were extremely glad we only booked in for one night. Definitely not value for the high amount we were charged. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Clean room, although the fly screens needed dusting, and the roof window surrounds needed cleaning. Otherwise the room was excellent, good aircon and large flat screen TV.

We loved this property - easy to find and in a great location. Sheltered parking space right outside the door of our room. A few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and beach. The room itself was beautifully clean and had everything needed for our stay. Easy check-in and out with friendly, welcoming staff. We would recommend this property.
