Situé à côté de l’aeroport Mais sans que cela soit gênant. Le personnel est charmant, le petit déjeuner très bien, mais l’hôtel a besoin d'être rafraîchi : piscine et forte odeur d’égout dans la sdbains.

一部寂れた感が漂っていました

・空港からホテルまでは無料送迎バスで5分程度。事前に予約したがバスが来ておらずかなり待った。空港内に居た他ホテルのドライバーにお願いして、ホテルに電話してもらってバスに来てもらった。 ・レセプションから見るプールはとても開放的。だが、2個あるプールのうち、1個に水が入っておらず使えなかったので、寂れた感じだった。 ・海側にある1階の部屋周辺は草木が乾燥していて荒れているイメージがあった。2列ありホテルの間の中庭は整備されていた。 ・チェックインした部屋に蟻の巣があり、壁やテーブル等に蟻がたくさん居た。部屋の交換をお願いした。部屋に案内されたらすぐに蟻巣が無いか確認した方が良い。 ・Eバイクのレンタルは可能だが、お願いしてから用意されるまで時間が掛かる。ホテルを出て左側に5分ほど歩くとEバイクのレンタル店があるので歩いた方が早い。 ・部屋の清掃は毎日のはずだが、日によって夜まで清掃されない日があった。レセプションに言うと「清掃してほしいの？」と言われ、困惑した。 ・ベランダには洗濯物を干せるスペースが充分あるので助かった。 ・Eバイクで空港とは逆側に10分ほど行くと、ランドリー店があり、何でも1枚500チャットだった。 ・朝食はブフェで多くのメニューがあった。 ・海は岩が多いが、タイヤチューブを浮輪として使って遊べた。

Little lovely getaway with surprise!

wonderful retreat for us! Simple and nice setup with accessible beach not directly infront of the resort but on the right. (do visit the small beach store operate by the family with daughter, yummy BBQ prawn squid + coconut!) We got a wonderful surprise like the rest. Balloons and birthday cake was setup for us without notice! Simply lovely gesture! Only gribe is the hot water system is not equipped for the bath tub. Only manage to fill 20% with hot water and waited for 1 hour for the heater to heat up. By then, the water in the tub is cold. All 3 attempt to have a 50% filled tub is.......... ALL COLD ! And the in-house massage service... nothing to be fancy about. Anyway, both restaurant just outside the resort are great! K2 especially, very consistent in their food quality!

空港に近い便利で素敵なホテル

チョイス設備は古いですが、 バスタブもあるし快適な部屋でした。 目の前の海が ビーチというか リーフでしたので。 僕以外海で泳いでる人は居ませんでした。すぐ近くにk2レストランがあるのも利点 何回も食べに行きました！
