Year end stay as usual

Usual stay during the year end, however this time , extremely crowded and delayed cleaning and offering towels etc , the prices are quite high so they also need to maintain enough staff to get ready.

It is a beach property but the beach is not accessible. The swim up bar is nonexistent. The other guests were so loud all night we didn’t sleep. Management told me they were so drunk that they could do nothing. We were the only 2 groups in the hotel and they put the drunk people playing loud music and screaming all night in our building. If you want to relax and enjoy your time. Stay somewhere else.

Beautiful setting but this is NOT a beach resort. If you are looking for sand and ocean swimming, this is not the place. More like mangrove mud. Pool is amazing but was so cold we could not swim. Room was lovely but bed was very hard. Great balcony overlooking pool. Be prepared to spend a lot of money in the only 2 restaurants on site or pack your own food. If you have mobility issues, ask for a ground floor room. There is no elevator.

A family trip away from city

having stayed before did not expect too much , basically a out of city experience was the motive , however to my surprise the quality has definitely improved and the food served is good. though there are small points to note like the swimming pool was very chill in cold due to no temperature control, it was a pleasant trip.

We stayed for one night. Had one bedroom chalet and two 2 bdr chalet. All were spotlessly clean, but basic. No complaints. Reception staff was very efficient and friendly. Swimming pool cleanliness and security around it were very good. Kids had a fantastic time in the pool. Overall I highly recommend it for a quick getaway.

normal place to stay ur weekend with low budget

its a nice hotel small and privacy room they have 2 choices one villa or room as 2 floor u choice which one u want down or upper and both of them has difference entrance so if u choose down u will get easy access to pool because ur balcony is underground easy access the upper is more privacy . to be more clear this hotel is more famous for asian ppl and family . there is italian restaurant i super recommended it the price so good and so delicious . i didnt like there TV i really wish if they put smart one so i can connect by phone and enjoy netflix.

The hotel is under Big Face Lift. The construction

Barracuda is going under Big Construction. The staff are very friendly, rooms are clean. If you want tospend a quiet weekend, this hotel is not for you. People Barbeque all over the place. highMusic is played by some guests disregarding others feelings. This hotel can be good place to stay at if strict rules applied.
