We chose this hotel for a two-day stay because the reviews were very good. The hotel is simple but in a nice location, and the staff was very friendly. However, we were housed on the second floor. The roof is made of wicker or straw and had holes in it where animals could get in from the street. When we went up to our room in the afternoon, there was a rat the size of my hand. We asked to change rooms to the ground floor because the roof was covered and it's safer to keep rodents out. When we returned from dinner, they had given us another room upstairs, which also had holes in it. The bed was full of black bugs, and the mosquito net had holes in it. It was impossible to sleep, fearing a rat would get in and ruin your vacation. You spend a lot of money to get to this country, and all you want is to enjoy yourself and be calm. They had ground-floor rooms available, but they didn't want them. We then went to other hotels and saw that the holes were covered with fences or grates. I think if you have a business you should try to offer a minimum. The breakfast was very poor, so after breakfast we left. Disappointed after such a nice hotel and wasted money. We had to pay for another night somewhere else. No one contacted us to ask what had happened or apologize. Terrible.

+ хорошее расположение отеля, первая линия;
+ приветливый персонал на рецепшн;
+ хороший завтрак, есть много вариантов блюд из яиц;
+ удобные двухэтажные домики с видом на море;
+ кондиционера в комнатах нет, нопо факту он здесь совсем и не нужен, т.к. домики удачно сконструированы и защищены тенью в самою жаркую вторую половину дня, даже вентилятором ночью не пользовался;
+ очень хорошая подготовка номера против комаров, персонал обрабатывает номер спреем и над кроватью качественная сетка, которая не ограничивает доступ воздуха;
+ прямо возле отеля всегда были свободные парковочные места;
+ вокруг много заведений, в которых готовят свежие морепродукты.
- сильные отливы на этом пляже, но это не большая проблема, до места купания легко дойти пешком по песчаной отмели, даже прикольно.

For our 2 night stay Pictures did not show the extreme tightness of the standard room. Also upon late check in there were no accommodations for the lack of running shower water. I truly appreciated the upgrade to a triple room however the shower head in the upgraded room also needed to be changed for water flow. There were spider webs on the side of bed frame which shows a lack of thorough cleaning. The space for triple should be standard. However Salma and the staff on site were of great help. Thank you.

I booked on short notice and was very happy about my choice. I had a heartly welcome and the staff was super friendly and helpfull with every request I had. Very nice room and balkony with ocean view. They even bring breakfast directly to your balcony in the moning as soon as you get uo and sit outside. Highly recommended.
The only negative thing I recogniced was the amount of plastic trash along the entire beach as well as on the Island in general. This of course has nothing to do with the hotel, and they actually try to incentivice people to leave no trash at the beach and even offer free beers for people who collect trash and bring it back to the hotel for proper disposal.

It’s a lovely spot in a quieter/less built up area of the island. There are options for restaurants nearby (including The Rock restaurant, only a couple minutes walk down the beach) although not as many as some of the more developed areas.
The hotel itself is lovely and clean. A nice breakfast is served right on your balcony which has amazing views of the water. No issues with the wi-fi. The staff were very welcoming. There is no A/C; we were a bit warm with the fan windows open but not unbearably so.
I wish we had had an extra night or two to stay; would definitely come again!
