“A great resort with excellent value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

Room
King size bed with canopy, TV and bathroom. We had a balcony overlooking the pool/beach which was lovely. Fridge and sink. Really great condition of room so not sure why others have had such a bad expereince.

Resort
The pool was cold but that was refreshing in the sunshine tho a lot of the US guests were complaining it was too cold! Breakfast was free and good, bagels, waffles, cereals.
Wifi is sporadic and only in certain areas, because we were staying near the breakfast room, we were able to get it in our room but I don’t think this was standard. There is a gym.
The receptionists (especially Alex) were really nice and always made good recommendations. We even stayed an extra night.
There is a Tiki Bar advertised, however this was never open when we were there which was disappointing. So we bought some drinks form a store across the orad and kept these in our fridge. The resort is really quiet at night as everyone must go into town

Location
Is about a 10 minute drive into town (where parking is really expensive!). You can get a bus from outside the hotel which is cheap but they only come every hour and half. Cab was $10. So much to do in town that we were there every evening.
There are fast-food restaurants nearby

Room Tip: Ask for pool/beach view

“Tired neglected hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

The hotel was clean but the room and grounds were tired. The rooms are in need of renovation and updating. The wall paper is coming off in the bathrooms, the taps and toilet drip constantly. The TV is old and tired. The bed had a mosquito net which was yellow with age. The windows and patio doors do not open without significant effort and the refrigerator door would not totally close. It is an excellent location and could be so nice if more professionally managed and maintained.

“Disappointed in policy change”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We specifically booked this resort due to it being a "clothing optional" resort. Upon check in we were (nicely) advised that due to neighbor complaints it has been changed to topless only. Very disappointed, but still the people and amenities were great. Nice continential breakfast daily, beautiful pool and small beach. The rooms are in need of a remodely most definitely, but still a comfortable bed and room. Internet is only available in 2 areas and was one of my biggest complaints....always having to leave your room. A good place for the money!!!

“Was expecting the worst.. but was pleasantly surprised.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

After reading reviews of what people said.. i was a little nervous! It wasn't enough to make me change my mind, because typically we are on vacation, we don't spend much time in the room. The room was always cleaned. The hotel property was clean. The pool was nice, and I loved the jacuzzi!

The breakfast they offered was enough to fit anyones appetite. Cereal, muffins, bagels, and even a waffle machine to make hot waffles!

It may not have been right on the strip, but for us, it was only 4$ a person downtown in the taxi! We walked to Smathers beach... and theres tons of vendors on the beach to eat.

The hotel is also located near a liquor/beer store, and Checkers (fast food) which is super affordable. This was an adult only hotel, so no annoying kids!

Everyone working seemed so friendly and laid back. I will def. stay here again.
