    excellent amenities

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free wi-fi, a fitness centre, and a poolside snack bar. The staff were helpful during my first stay, taking care of my elderly parents. I highly recommend it and will be back for a weekend!

    convenient location
    limited food options

    The hotel had a convenient location for local

    Shops and bars. The staff were friendly and did their best, but the food options were quite limited and repetitive, disappointing. I also noticed some cleanliness issues around the outdoor areas.

    Breakfasts were satisfactory, and I felt very welcome.

    The room I stayed in was big and cheap right on top of the bar.

    friendly staff
    great food
    warm indoor pool
    breakfast variety

    The staff were super friendly, especially catherine and bernice. The food was actually great, with a nice variety every day, and special thanks to the chefs for the tasty meals. The indoor pool was warm and perfect after a day out exploring. Location is spot on, close to the beach and bars.

    indoor pool
    convenient access
    noisy bar
    limited options

    The hotel's proximity to the beach and convenient access to shops made exploring easy. While the indoor pool area provided a welcoming escape, the noisy bar nearby disrupted sleep. The breakfast was basic, with limited options, which could use some improvement.

    The location is good and the inside hall was nice too.

    Breakfast was terrible, everyday the same food, there was nothing tasty to eat. It was some problems with hot water in the evenings.
