“Magic place, perfect for couples.”

This place is incredible. It doesn't allow small children as guests which means that it is super peaceful. The beach is practically private and the pool is fantastic. The rooms have a particular design and they are very comfortable. The breakfast is excellent.

“Loved the place!!”

The place is lovely and cozy - the room was comfortable and the infrastructure was great. The staff was super polite and helpful. Food was amazing, specially breakfast and 5pm tea. We loved it and will definitely recommend it to others.

“Great beach, hotel is pretty bad”

This hotel could be so much better given its amazing beach and great location, but the staff and management team need better hospitality training, more attention to detail and better bedside manners.

This hotel could be so much better given its amazing beach and great location, but the staff and management team need better hospitality training, more attention to detail and better bedside manners. Several things need to be improved: 1- We found a cockroach in the bathroom on our second day. There was a dead one in the balcony when we arrived and it was not cleaned up during our stay. 2- Towels and sheets were lightly stained and the shampoo/conditioner combo smelled like sewer. The shampoo container was old and broken. There was a clothes line in the bathroom that didn't retract, so my tall husband kept hitting his head on it. 3- The window in the room didn’t lock. There was a handle but the lock was missing. 4- The stairs to the beach have uneven steps and some planks are loose and crooked, hard for people with mobility issues to get around. 5- They need to clean the beach in front of the hotel. They also didn’t take good care of the beach right in front of their hotel. We found lots of plastic wrappers, utensils and cups right where they put their beach chairs. Also, they say they offer service at the beach but we rarely saw anyone come around. 6- Food takes forever to arrive. We had lunch at the hotel one day and the food took more than 1 hour to arrive. Three people came over at different times and said “it’s coming”, which was a lie because the food took another 30 min to arrive once they realized it was taking a long time and decided to check-in. When the food finally arrived, the rice was cold, steamed vegetables were soggy and cold, the chicken was rubbery. They comp’ed one of the meals, which was nice but the whole experience was a disaster. 7- The breakfast buffet was ok. Servers shouted from the restaurant to tell the kitchen what needed to be replaced. There were flies on the cheese and cold meat. That could be solved by putting them into a cold case or putting a cover on it. The tapioca came out cold and undercooked, so I put it into the sandwich maker for proper cooking. 8- Bartender was too pushy. My husband ordered a drink one night and the bartender kept insisting that I should try another drink even after I said several times that I wasn’t interested. NO means NO!!! 9- The servers are mostly young and seem untrained. Everyone runs around like they're in a hurry and don’t know what’s going on. That gives the hotel a stressed and anxious vibe. Overall, we had a bad experience. The only thing that saves this place is the beach right in front of it.
