Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This was the perfect place I think. If your more into an amazing view and balcony than watching tv it’s perfect. The tv room was nothing to talk about but otherwise loved the kitchen and bath and comfortable bed!
My wife and i enjoyed our stay. The property is beginning to show its age, but it is far from shabby.
Our suite consisted of a kitchen/ dining area/second bedroom.c the kitchen had an oven and 2 burner electric stove. It had platrd and sikverware etc.
Curiously there was no microwave.
The bedroom ws comfy and decent size. There was a balcony with chairs and a clothe a frying rack.
The sofa in the kitchen cpnverts to a double bed.
PROs
Kitchen means not all meals have to be eaten out.
Convenient location
Cheaper than many other hotels in the area
Several good restaurants in the area.
Indoor and outdoor pools (we did not use them)
Very accomodating, friendy staff.
Fridge is very cold.
Very clean.
Two mini grocery stores very close.
Chaplin's restaurant next door does a good English breakfast, beans on toast, egg a andwich etc.
CONs
Parking is difficult, but not impossible.
No microwave.
No drinking water - it has to be purchased like most of the hotels. Buy a 7 litre jug from the mini mart.

Very polite and helpful receptionist. Answered all queries. Location was ideal. Used the indoor pool and jacuzzi, both clean and warm. Room was surprisingly spacious and amenities ample
We were hoping for a nice balcony with a view of the ocean. If we stood in just the right spot, we could just see the ocean between buildings at the back. The A/C was greatly appreciated but really caused excessive humidity in the room. We also didn't realize that the pool was across the road. Nice restaurants within walking distance.
The accommodation is away from the main road and offers a quiet location. The pool and spa facilities are located a short distance from the accommodation but within easy reach. My studio rooms were a little tired but clean and comfortable with hot water. In room TV facilities could do with being modernised to enable access to internet and portable entertainment
