    Great spot to crash with a nice view of the ocean 🌊. the location is awesome, away from the city bustle and surrounded by nature compared to other hotels nearby that are packed in a concrete jungle close to the beach.

    Located on the East Coast road, the resort offers a convenient and picturesque location right next to the beach. Guests can enjoy direct access to the sandy shores and relax on the lawn overlooking the sea. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay for guests.

    The quality of the food at the resort's restaurant is disappointing, with limited options and tasteless dishes.

    Located on the coast, the hotel provides picturesque views of the beach. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and have clean restrooms, making the stay relaxing. The courteous and helpful staff cater to the needs of the guests. The swimming pool is well maintained and hygienic, providing a refreshing break from the heat.

    The restaurant service needs improvement in terms of timeliness.

    The hotel is located just next to the beach, providing easy access for guests to enjoy the beautiful coastline. The green pathway and well-maintained flowers create a charming and peaceful atmosphere throughout the property. The rooms were clean and nicely maintained, offering a comfortable and pleasant stay. The breakfast provided by the hotel was satisfying, with a good variety of options to choose from.

    Our experience at this hotel was satisfactory.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, right on the East Coast road with direct access to the beach. The hotel facilities were great, with a swimming pool that was perfect for the kids. The beds were neat and comfortable, and the toilet was clean with hot water available 24 hours. The staff, from the security at the front gate to the cleaning staff, were all polite and friendly. The restaurant staff were especially nice, suggesting delicious food options and seeking feedback. The limited food menu options were made up for by the good quality, almost like home cooked food.

    Can't fault anything about it.

    This hotel truly offers great value for money. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the attention to detail and the fantastic location right on the East Coast road with direct access to the beach. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the basic amenities are all in great condition. The rooms were clean and maintained nicely, and the breakfast spread was delicious.
