Pool was a lovely area and the water temperature was perfect- nice and warm! Staff were wonderful- so helpful and friendly. Cocktails were great.

Hotel is now very dated and a bit shabby in places. We understand there is a planned refurbishment. Lack of furniture on our balcony. Lack of choice at breakfast - a wider variety of food types is needed.

Frukosten var helt OK. Personalen skötte utbudet OK. Lugnt och städat på hotellet och i restaurangen

Vi beställde middag på hotellet. Jag beställde en lammkotlett som var bra kryddad och väl tillagad men kotletten var definitivt inte en lammkotlett. Köttet bestod av huvudsakligen en stor ryggkota från mitten av halsen vilket gjorde att det var en sror sena, nacksenan, och mycket hinnor och lite kött. Tyvärr fick jag ingen respons av serveringspersonalen som uppenbarligen inte vet vad en lammkotlett är för något.

Lovely pool and spacious rooms. Great massage! Very fast lift. Resident monitor lizard that swims in the pool every day. Sauna & steam room.

Remote location (can’t walk anywhere). Service was a bit slow and sometimes forgotten! Breakfast was limited.
