“Wonderfull location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2007

The hotel has an excelente location, just 1 minute walking from Barra Beach, very close to shopping Barra and lots of restaurants and bars around. My room had sea view, it was clean and in a good size, the bathroom was clean also. the bad point is the pool, its just a small pool on the top of the hotel but the view from the pool is amazing!!! I'm going to stay there again next january

  • Liked — the location, the breakfast was great
  • Disliked — the pool
  • Stayed January 2007, travelled as a couple

“good value hotel on beach but a bit dated”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2007
3
people found this review helpful

The hotel is on the beach with pleanty of bars and resturants nreaby plus Shopping barra a large air conditioned mall nearby. The hotel staff were great but lacked English skills. The hotel had a few sillt maintenace problems but these would be fixed when pointed out. The room was large but the furniture dated as was most of the hotel. The whole place could do with a make over. The breakfast choice was huge and one of the best we had. All the staff were nice and cleaning was good. No beach view but that ment we had a quiet room. Key operated safe in room at extra charge. No internet. Small (10 feet) round pool on roof but it was a real oasis of calm and a nice place to be. The gym was one exercise bike.

Good points:
Location -on beach, everything nearby. Shops, bars, resturants
Airport bus - stops nearby
Resturant - great morning choice and cheap evening meals
Large room

General Points

Needed a bit of a make over.
Small pool
Lightbulb in bathroom needed replacing (hard to ask for without language skills).
Busy road in front of hotel

Bad points
Gym - was a bike
Very limited English spoken

I would stop at this hotel again as it was good value for money and a great location. Not a honeymoon hotel but for clean, cheerful and lcoation it was fine. The breakfast buffet was a bonus as was the airport bus stopping nearby which saved the need for a taxi. Area was safe and clean apart from a few beggars afer 11pm at night.

  • Liked — location
  • Disliked — no safe in room but was at recetion and a decor and furniture a bit scruffy
  • Tips/Secrets — get a high room at back for peace or a high room at front for beach view
  • Stayed December 2006, travelled as a couple
