Didn’t expect that there’s No lift (elevator) facilities. Felt sorry for the staff helping with the luggage. But the food is superb especially breakfast. Staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. Beautiful seaside view. Fresh and clean around the hotel area; nature at its best around the hotel area.

In Need of Remodel
It’s like everyone says: it’s rundown. I won’t get into particulars. Fact. Bed was very comfortable and the room was sizable. They only give you two 350 ml of water a day and charge the equivalent of about 1 US dollar. This is odd after they ask to not wash your towels to “preserve the environment.” I suggest you have large water dispensers for consumption. The. Each is not for swimming and the pool is old looking. All in all I did enjoy my stay. The grounds are stupendously and meticulously cared for. The staff is nice and helpful.

I had read all of the negative reviews about the property. In the room we were given the Aircon barely worked. This had been stated in the reviews I had read. We didn't spend time in the room, except at night so we asked for a fan and one was provided. I work in property management and know what to expect. It is very sad to see such a fantastic property, that has been severely mismanaged. Aircon's, building maintenance, and swimming pool has had no effort placed in these areas. The grounds were immaculate, but, the buildings and amenities is where the money is needed. Under proper management, this place should stay near full!
