The hotel is new, everything is clean, except for the towels(
We arrived out of season, so we were alone, and no one was cleaning the hotel grounds. There is a nice woman at the reception, but she doesn’t speak English at all, and she doesn’t use her own equipment well. Once she closed the gate before we returned (at 9:00 pm) and went to bed. We couldn’t call or shout, so we had to climb over 🤡
We bought a room with breakfast, but on the spot they showed us their voucher, which said that breakfast was not included. Probably the fault of the tripcom. Later, the woman came to meet us and cooked scrambled eggs for the next day. But of course, we were expecting a small buffet, like in the photos(
Location: there are a lot of cafes nearby, an ATM and a bus stop are not far away. The path to the beach is not close at all. And along some kind of creepy road. About 20 minutes.
In the dark, the road to the hotel is creepy, without lighting and with a bunch of dogs.
Beach: here we were shocked. Mountains of garbage and black foam washed out by the waves (((
But, we met other Russian vacationers, they told us that it was in the same place in winter (in season) and it was a beautiful clean beach, which is cleaned daily. Apparently, a lot depends on the season. Off-season tides and plus the beach is not cleaned, since there is almost no one. But still, tourists come, and this situation is very strange.
In general, we went to another beach. A couple of stops away there is a good Sonasea beach. In general, you can ride around the island and choose a beach. There are free buses.
