Great location with friendly staff. This hotel was a lot of fun! The premises are clean and have something for everyone. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The only complaint is there are a lot of flys that sneak into the rooms and some very friendly cats that like to overstay their welcome at the restaurant and beach. The staff were fast to shoo them away so not a huge deal. The beach was full of shells and Snoopy Island was a quick swim away with flippers/snorkeling masks you could rent. We saw about 20 sea turtles and tons of colorful fish. Great stay!

The room was spotless, and we had everything we needed. A truly special and amazing place to relax and snorkel. The heated pool was perfect, and the service was exceptional—every staff member was wonderful.

Great stay overall

My stay was great. The facilities and the staff were really nice. One small issue I faced was that the TV was not working in my room but the hotel service team was cooperative and replaced it as soon as I informed them.

Great place for beach holiday

The hotel has everything needed for perfect beach stay. The rooms are located in small houses on the beach. Rooms are simple but well maintained and have everything needed. Beach is equipped with sun beds and umbrellas, there’s a swimming pool. Snoopy island with beautiful sea life is easily accessible if you can swim. Make sure to take your snorkel mask with you.
