Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, offering a comfortable stay. The location was peaceful and close to the beach, but the constant generator noise was a downside. The service was a highlight, with the staff being friendly and professional, making my stay enjoyable.
I had an amazing time at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and had the perfect setup with wooden loungers outside facing the jetty. The staff were super friendly and efficient, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location, right beside the Dive School, offered breathtaking views day and night. Although there were some red ants in the room, the overall experience was fantastic.
