fantastic stay!

refreshing poolhandy barsgreat locationclose shops

I was really happy with the pool . Although busy as it is actually shared , it was pretty good and the water was refreshing. there were two decent bars right next to the hotel , which was really handy. the location was super , with the pool and beach just steps away , and shops were really close.

the ventilation system was not perfect , so there was slight humidity in the room.

Wonderful stay near the beach

convenient locationfriendly staffpoor ventilation

I really liked the convenient location, close to the beach. The room was clean, and i appreciated the air conditioner it was great. The staff was also friendly and helpful.

My room faced a brick wall and had noticeable humidity. This caused a slight musty smell in my clothes after a week. I think better ventilation would improve this issue.

Mixed Experience

shower moldopen shampoos

The room was not quite what I expected. The shower had mold. (It was quite unpleasant.) There were also ants. They seemed to come from the ceiling. I also didn't appreciate that the bathroom wasn't particularly clean. There were open shampoo bottles from previous guests left in the shower.
