Accueil moyen par la gérante que notre présence semble déranger, elle dit ne pas parler anglais pour ne pas à devoir communiquer avec nous Image et annonce de leur site fausse car pas d acces direct à plage, petit déj à 8h et non 7h, il faut négocier sur avoir un petit déj avant 8h(surtout pas le dimanche car madame dort...). Tout est sale dans la chambre: ça sent le moisi, le sol n est pas nettoyé, ni la douche et le lavabo ( il y a des restes de vieux savons). Pas de restaurant, juste boite de nuit le samedi soir, soirée techno jusqu'à 3 h du matin mais rien n'est indiqué sur le site. Nous avons demandé à ce que la musique soit baissée ce qui n a pas été fait puis nous avons dû partir. Ils nous ont remboursé la moitié du prix, de vrais voleurs. Cerise sur le gâteau : le gérant regarde par la fenêtre quand vous êtes dans la salle de bain et qu il descend de chez lui et il s énerve et se moque quand on ne comprend pas ce qu il dit ( attention il n'aime pas les français ! ) Il ne s'agit pas d'un hôtel 3 étoiles ! Nous étions que 2 chambres et ceux à côté de nous ne sont pas restés tellement les conditions étaient horribles! A fuir !

I can't recommend this hotel. There are a number of good points: helpful staff, attractive building, nice pool, convenient location. But the bad points are pretty strong and mostly have to do with the building itself. It looks nice, but has no noise insulation, so you hear both your neighbors and the busy road outside. I was wakened at 1 am by a truck downshifting on the curvy hill, and although that was the only one that woke me up, i was listening to them the whole time i was in the room. The room itself just isn't finished well. There's an overhead light with a bare bulb, a table lamp with a shade that doesn't fit, and the switch for the bathroom light is not only outside the door, but on the wrong side so you have to walk completely outside the bath to turn on the light you should have got on the way in. I realize these are not big issues. We finished our 2 night stay. The price is reasonable in an area where there are not many bargains. If this hotel meets your needs, come book. But don't bring high expectations.

We left early for a tour and staff made us a fruit plate and coffee as we were too early for breakfast. Rooms were noisy, we were in a center room which had 4 neigbours and noise from above as well. Room was not cleaned. Pool was cold, and dirty, especially for the price as it was more expensive than most. Beautiful location in tropical setting. Not close to ocean.
