I had a wonderful time during my stay, enjoying the fresh seafood right on the beach and the lively atmosphere nearby. The hotel offered a good selection of food, especially for vegetarians and vegans, but the breakfast during early trips was a bit of a letdown. Although the location was perfect for beach activities and exploring, the room could definitely use some improvement.

The hotel offers a great beachfront location ideal for snorkeling, but it feels quite tired and in need of modernization. While I found the staff to be quite friendly, the dining was a mixed experience and the room maintenance left something to be desired. Overall, it has potential but requires some significant improvements to become a comfortable stay.
Rooms

The rooms are basic and clearly in need of an update. While I had a lovely shaded balcony which was great for relaxing, the overall cleanliness was below par with some concerning details like a dirty fridge and questionable bedding.

I found the hotel to have a great location right on the beachfront with stunning views, but it was unfortunately marred by some unsettling experiences. The room I stayed in was clean and spacious, but the overall atmosphere left much to be desired. Service was lacking, which made my stay feel less enjoyable. While it has potential due to its position near the beach, I can't recommend it for solo travelers seeking safety and comfort.

Our stay here was quite mixed. The spacious rooms boasted a lovely view of the beach, but we faced issues with power outages and unstable Wi-Fi during our time. The hotel itself had its charm but is definitely in need of some updates to its facilities. If you're mainly looking for a clean place to stay, this might suffice, though it's not without its drawbacks.

The hotel was quite disappointing overall. While I found the room to be clean, that was unfortunately the only positive aspect. The location was chaotic, with a tiny private beach littered with debris and the amenities left much to be desired. It felt more like a budget hostel than a resort spa, which is not what I expected given the price.
