rigid check-in

extra room charge

Friendly and outgoing staff made our stay pleasant.

We experienced a very rigid check-in process. The reception showed no flexibility about room arrangements for our family. We waited two hours for check-in and had to purchase an extra room, particularly frustrating after a long journey with tired children.

Could be better, read on

The beach here is undeniably fine with its soft coral sand and turquoise waters, perfect for long walks. While some staff were friendly, service can be sluggish and disorganized, especially at dining. The hotel is charming but needs updates. Amenities show signs of wear. You pay for the location, but service and food could improve.

cleanliness issues

The beach was fine, especially during sunset, but

The staff could be more attentive. The room was nicely renovated, yet there were issues with cleanliness that were disappointing. A lovely stay with a few drawbacks that affected my experience.

The 24-hour reception was super handy. Our economy double room was clean, comfortable, and had great AC. Getting takeaway breakfast for our early checkout was a nice touch, but a drink would have been perfect. The staff were helpful!
