The breakfast was ok and the staff were friendly and helpful. They could use a variety of food . I stayed for 4 nights and the food was the same the whole time. The compound is not maintained one would wonder if a snake wouldnt crawl in from somewhere. The room had no soap and had to call to ask . Mosquito nets dont close completely . Beach is very nice and better than most hotels , but very crowded !

How Expedia rates this 3 stars is baffling. 78 countries maybe 1,000 hotel rooms this is in the filthiest bathroom and pillows. No toilet paper, water in shower was brackish not fresh. Mold everywhere. Total rip off, complain to the front desk they just look at you, well you where stupid enough to book it. Especially when price is as high as it is. Place is literally falling apart, roof of part of the pool bar collapsed, luckily no one sitting there. Local guide reviews are bogus.
Toilet knob falling off no toilet paper initially.

Expedia check in (again, had the same in Meru) not registered properly. So off to a rough start. Nice location. Lift not working. Properly not really kept, can use some work. Indian food very nice. Coffee meh. Pizza was terrible, deep frozen factory produced. Staff generally friendly. Place has potential but needs some TLC across all areas

Unfortunately did not enjoy my stay, this property is outdated and needs a lot of improvement the room had a mouldy smell and bathroom with shower curtains were very dirty. Dinning room staff were very pushy and not able to help with the basics, the food was not up to scratch. the besting about this place is its location on the beach other than that it need demolish and start a fresh. I will not recommend to anyone.

The staff is not helpful. Their service sucks. Checking in was unpleasant. You wait for hours to get a room even when it's past their check-in time. The bathrooms are old and rusty..

Not like it used to be

It seems that the hotel was great 20 years+ ago. There is a clearly visible lack in Renovating/Modernizing. The bathrooms for instance are just terrible. One can imagine the great flair this hotel had. Unless you spend a lot of money your customers will stay away! I will not come back unless there are major improvements reported! Best Peter B.

We were so disappointed with the cost for what you got. The hotel is old and run down. Our room had furniture that was rotting and although we paid for the deluxe room with a sea view we got a small average room and we couldn't see the sea. The only thing that was fine about the room was the airconditioner worked well.

There was not enough workers. If you need something you have to ask like at least 5-6 times until you get it. We were waiting for an iron for almost 2 hours. Very long waits for orders and every time you ask for help or something, the staff disappears. I would recommend staying somewhere else.

Beware! Sewer leak in bedroom and terrible customer service! The food will make you sick, the customer service will make you sicker. We got a room for the holidays and had a nasty sewer leak that almost destroyed our property. My girlfriend was in the shower and human poop and water came out of the shower drain and flooded our whole room. Did they offer us another room? Nope! Did they offer us a refund? Nope! All they did was mop the floor and make us remain in our sewer infested room for the duration of the trip. Any other respectable hotel would've at least offered another room and a refund. On top of that, customer service is very dubious, apathetic, slow, and inconsiderate. Think hard anf think twice before booking a trip here. I never make internet reviews, I'm not that type of person, even if something bothers me, but this place needs to be called out.

This property has some serious problems with its utilities specifically water supply and water quality. The senior management are clueless as to how to resolve this and in our case they failed to respond directly to any of our complaints. Bathrooms and fixtures are of poor quality and in bad condition. The issues we had can be summarised as follows: 1. Water stoppages lasting more than 3 hours on 5 out of our 11 days stay. 2. Poorly treated water supply from borehole. 3. Bathroom window did not shut properly leaving a path for mosquitoes. 4. Lack of consistent hot water 5. Taps not working properly 6. Toilet cistern broke down but got repaired 7. Internet breakdown for more than 12 hours. 8. The staff were polite and apologetic but powerless to resolve any problems - appears to be a management issue.
