Great location. Bus stop less than a 5 minute walk. Very close to several beaches. Loads of restaurants and bars near by. Breakfast was delicious at a nearby restaurant. Facilities were great. Aircon was very good. 100% would recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel was not the quality of the other VIP hotels I have stayed in. It was clean and did have a view of the ocean. The bathroom was not good. The open shower did not drain properly so water covered the entire floor no matter how careful one tried to be. The shower had a hole for a drain with no drain cover. There was also a drain near the toilet where the shower water also went. There was hand soap at the sink but none for the shower. There was a bottle of already opened shampoo in the shower. There was a nice refrigerator but no tea or coffee amenities. The staff were friendly but not readily available. We bought more toilet paper as we ran out and there was no more in the room. The hotel was a quick walk to the beach and to restaurants which was good. The area directly around the hotel was rough looking with a potholed dirt road and unkept small houses. Okay for the price but definitely not VIP worthy.

Hyggeligt familiedrevet hotel

Virkelig hyggeligt familiedrevet hotel med en lille have der ligger ca 50 meter fra hovedvejen/stranden. Vi følte os meget velkommen og vel modtaget. Morgenmaden spises på en restaurant ca 100 meter fra hotellet, der vælger man mellem forskellige enkle retter. Dejligt område tæt på stranden.
