Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in an amazing location right on the beach with stunning views. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience could use more variety in the daily menus. Overall, it's a great value for money.
My stay at this hotel with an Island view had its ups and downs. The rooms were smaller than expected, and the balcony was tiny, not even enough for chairs. There was too much light and noise coming in, and being situated above the kitchen meant dealing with constant funky curry smells. On the bright side, the hotel had a friendly and natural island vibe that I liked.
Staying at this hotel felt like being at home with the amazing staff and great clean rooms. The only downside is that the rooms are not that quiet due to the large windows, but the overall atmosphere is very charming.
