We only stayed one night for my friend's birthday, but I wanted to stay longer. The pool area is great, the staff is really friendly and helpful and our room was clean. We went to the Bahi Hut and had a wonderful time. I can't wait to plan another trip with more of our friends.

I read a lot of good reviews for this property. Unfortunately my experience was not like what i read. I saw several dead baby roaches. The bathroom situation was ridiculous. Wash cloth was dirty. Looked like mold. The shower curtain was to short, so there was water all over the floor. Had to have housekeeping come soak up the water. We left our roon at 9 in the morning and came back at 2:30 and the room hadn't been cleaned. We asked for clean towels. Housekeeping came to clean while the shower was being used, so we asjed if they would come back which they would not/ did not. There were little windows at the top of the room with no curtains to block the light so room could not be fully dark to sleep. Would not stay there again 😐

Clean establishment

Stayed more than a week. Everyday the maid came in to take trash n replenished the towels n toiletries. Bed was too soft for my liking, Room was spacious n clean. Downside is theres no breakfast. Pool area was nice! Laundry on premises was outside n cleaned our clothes good for $2 to wash n $2 to dry. Next to our hotel was a tiki bar. At times the music was but it didnt bother us. Was nice to b able to go next door to grab a few drinks. Overall, we love it there. Workers was nice n sweet. The area of hotel was close to stores n restaurants. Will stay there again next time!
