The room was in an larger facilities with a lot of privately used apartments. The entire facility is not in a good shape and makes a quite worn down impression. Reception has short operating hours. The restaurants an some shops in the facility have been temporarily or permanently closed. Renovations did start during our stay and are urgently needed.

The location on the beachfront is just idyllic The pool and tropical gardens with huge old paperbarks is like sleeping in the rainforest but with great cafes and boutique shops

Sadly the adjoining Italian restaurant was still under construction but should be back in full swing for the dry season

Poolen var najs. Läget var bra med buss precis utanför. Balkongen var trevlig!

Personalen var inte alltid där. Lite omodern standard på hela hotellet.
