Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a very built-up area just a 10-minute walk to the seafront. The rooms were extremely hot as the air conditioning didn't work well, and the overall experience felt more like a 2-star stay. The food options were limited and repetitive, pushing us to dine out most days. However, there were ample loungers by the pool, and the location offered easy access to other parts of the island.
The hotel overall was a mixed experience. The rooms were uncomfortable due to the air conditioning issues and lack of amenities, but the staff was somewhat helpful. The location was not ideal, being in a run-down and dirty area, although some staff members were efficient and genuine. The dining offered very basic and repetitive meals. The facilities were subpar, with broken and non-functional items.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room situation started off rocky with the need to put mattresses on the floor for better temperature control, but after a discussion with the Hotel Manager, they agreed to change my room. The new room was damp and infested, which aggravated my asthma. The air conditioning was limited to one part of the room, creating discomfort due to the loud noise. However, the service was friendly, and the location was convenient for accessing various activities. The dining experience had its flaws despite the standard buffet options. Overall, the experience had its challenges but also some positives.
