Overall, our stay was fairly good. We understood from the beginning that this is a relatively budget hotel, so we didn’t have high expectations. The food was a pleasant surprise — everything was tasty, and there was a good variety of dishes to choose from. We’d also like to especially mention the young man at the front desk: we arrived late, and he kindly suggested we go for dinner first before dealing with check-in and payment. That was very thoughtful and much appreciated. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff didn’t leave the same impression. Most employees seemed unfriendly, rarely smiled, and this was especially noticeable at the bars. Because of that, it didn’t really feel like a place where you’d want to leave tips, which is a pity. The rooms and overall hotel facilities are quite outdated — including the sunbeds and furniture around the property. That said, we are not very picky, and everything essential was there, so it was fine for us. What was truly frustrating was the room key cards. They kept getting demagnetized constantly — even brief contact with a phone would make them stop working. We had to go to the reception several times a day to reactivate them, which became very tiring. Another disappointing aspect was the condition of the public restrooms around the hotel. Many of the stall doors didn’t lock or were simply broken. Fixing basic latches is not a major expense, and it’s quite unacceptable to have to use a toilet with the door not closing properly.

The staff was always confused and unsure. They also confirmed airport pick up and then forgot and never showed up. Leaving me to figure it out. The seaweed was very bad and they made a poor effort to clean it. The drinks were horrible and did not taste how they were supposed to. They promote 3 restaurants but I only have the third opened every other day. Rooms did not have comforters only a thin sheet. Pool was nice.

For the most part the staff was excellent! We didn’t receive a true welcoming once we arrived. The reason we stayed at the hotel was to possibly look into having a wedding there. We learned that at check-in they no longer host wedding. 😡 Need to remove that from advertising. We had bugs in our room, contacted service desk - we were told someone was coming. No one showed (we reported the sighting 1 day and we were there for 4 nights). We ended buying bug spray and doing it ourselves. I’m sure others have had great experiences, ours wasn’t. It’s an outdated hotel with tons of potential. If I see it ever gets renovated, may try again. However we will not be back anytime soon!

I was very disappointed with this facility. While the grounds were exceptional the rooms were very old, outdated, and probably haven't had any updated or improvements since the day it was built. I was very unhappy that I made this selection with so many nice places in the vicinity.
