My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, with jacuzzis both inside and outside on the balcony, were unique but came with some design quirks like the exposed shower. However, this setup might be more suitable for couples than friends. The late availability of rooms and missing items were initial hiccups.
The hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were comfortable but suffered from noise due to the nearby bar and an encounter with a cockroach.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a large seating area, a Walk-in shower, fridge, toiletries, and towels changed twice a day. The WiFi is okay, and the rooms are always clean with no mosquitoes. However, there was an issue that required a reply from customer service post check-in.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, but the loud music from the bar and unwelcome visitors like cockroaches were a turn-off. The service was exceptional with friendly staff always ready to assist, but odd-tasting drinks left us feeling unwell. The location is excellent for beach lovers and shoppers, but tainted by a hospital visit due to drinks. The dining experience was good overall, with plenty of options, but the a la carte restaurants were just average. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay in a convenient location near the beach and close to dining options. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff is friendly. However, some improvements are needed in the dining experience. Overall, a good value for money.
