              Nothing works in the hotel, facilities are not maintained and you need to complain about everything that does not work. From the air conditioning to the television reception to ripped bathroom towels with bathroom doors not closing, everything at this hotel was a disappointment.

              During busy time especially december holidays crowded. Another lift would be an advantage to the hotel. Website need to be updated hotel not 15mi sl from airport..that was still the old airport location. The new airport is almost an hour away. . Rooms big and spacious. Clean hotel. Very impressive 3 star u need another star !

              Staff not hospitable, only two staff members were hsopitable and the rest expected you to do their job and get "room service"... Room now cleaned properly, found a dirty panty on the edge of the bed... on my first day at the hotel and in the room/... requested someone to come and remove it...

              Great location, beautiful views of the ocean, secure well monitored beach , really clean accommodation, night staff not so friendly and the restaurant staff are really slow no menu on arrival, had to fetch by myself, but the food is really good and the chef was accommodating. All in all, we will definitely return, hopefully better mannered night staff the next time around and a well managed restaurant will make this place super amazing.
