Cosy, comfortable and clean. Shower was barely warm for showers. Petrol station next door was noisy but blackout curtains kept the light out.

Friendly staff, clean rooms. We stayed in the room with the spa. The room was nice, a bit outdated and the bathroom could do with a reno but for the price, it was fantastic.

Disgusting

I wouldn’t stay again. Carpet wet couldn’t lock sliding door to balcony. Shower leaked onto floor making it wet everywhere. Bedroom had a smell and air conditioner was over bed making it uncomfortable to sleep

Pros: Location is perfect, close to the beach and restaurants. The room is reasonably clean considering its price. Cons: The noise is really bad in the rooms facing the petro station, and the road. This and the soft mattress made my stay very uncomfortable as I personally prefer a firmer mattress.
