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.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were smaller than they appear and the balcony is very small. Light and noise from the outside were quite noticeable, and being above the kitchen meant enduring pervasive curry smells.

Service

7.0

The service was friendly and helpful, but there was an issue with incorrect pricing for an excursion that the hotel didn't handle well. Despite the mishap, the staff was pleasant to interact with.

Location

9.0

The location was just perfect, close to everything like the beach, shops, and boat docks. The hotel even provided nice tours since the immediate surroundings lacked attractions.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was decent with diverse choices like waffles, toast, cereal, and eggs. The breakfast buffet changed daily during my stay, which was a nice touch.

Facilities

The hotel facilities were standard, nothing extraordinary but sufficient for a comfortable stay.

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.
