“Indecent price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

When I booked the room, the receptionist told me 43USD per night but when I arrived, it was 83USD !!! The bathroom was dated, tiny, dirty, the tub floor was covered with rust, the bath mat was dirty. There was a big wooden toilet seat from another age. I've never seen something like that in a so called 3* hotel.
The room was tired and poor, smelled mold, the furniture was old. A/C didn't work.
So I asked to change of room but the receptionist told me that the hotel was fully booked. I pointed out that 83USD was an indecent price for such a room. A real rip-off !
On saturday night, they play a noisy disco in the central courtyard preventing everybody from sleeping.
The pool area and bar could be pleasant but infested with mosquitoes.
The food quality was poor.

“Bad Customer service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011

It’s a nice hotel, on the beach and the food is also good, our problem was the staff, when I first called on the number to make a reservation, the reception said that there are no one at the reservation… call later… I called 6 times I got the same response other than that every thing was ok… I simply loved the hotel…. We stayed there for 2 weeks, My friend had a small accident and I wanted some plasters and cotton, But the reception staff said “the front office manager is on his break so we are unable to give” they said that the front office manager has taken the first aid box key….. how can a manager do that ?

And I wanted to meet the front office manager next day but he hadn’t come, I complained to the Restaurant manager.

There are few things you will have to change….. do not spoil the hotel name because of the staff.

“Needs update!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2010

Nice location and pool area but the rooms needs an update. It smelled of mold and the furniture was old. Some of the staff in the reception needs needs to practice more english. The service in general was very slow. Breakfast and dinner buffet was fresh.

“very unfriendly atmosphere”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2010

We were staying with my friends for 2 days, very disappointing! Pool staff was shouting at us and disturbing, food was poor, rooms dirty and without basic facilities - no TV, leaking shower, AC is not working, noisy with local visitors. It is not so cheap now so they have no idea about how to please the client for the money. Seems security and pool attendant having deals with local traders so they are bothering you at the beach non stop.

“Nice hotel to start your journey”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel is located directly at the beach, altough most of the time it's to dangerous to go into the water because of strong currents. They have a nice pool which you can use instead. Hotel is located very close to the airport so it's good to start your journey from there as you don't have a long travel there. Food was alright, but not great: Buffet for breakfast and dinner. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
