I was trying to coordinate pick up times for the airport transfer via the chat feature on Hotels.com and they were very unresponsive. They mentioned once they would coordinate with my other hotel for boat arrival and they never contacted them. I had my hotel reach out to them and was advised of my arrival and nobody was there. I learned the hard way that there's an information desk at the airport that will contact the hotel for you for them to pick you up. Needless to say, I waited at the airport for 45 min for my ride. My bathroom window wood not shut so I kept smelling cigarettes and the bed was hard as a rock.

Affordable, friendly, and air-conditioned
This hotel is perfect for an affordable stay near the beach. The staff was very friendly. Although the pictures do not reflect the current state of the rooms (the rooms are not as updated or large as the pics show), the AC works great, they make sure to get you to and from the airport, and the breakfast was good.

The photos online and the property are NOT the same. The super deluxe room was miserable. No windows/ sunlight, dingy, the towels were crusty (sun dried vs in dryer), the bath mats were dirty and our one side of "king bed" (two twins pushed together) had stains. We saw a spider and what looked like it's next meal, a cockroach. The rooftop photos versus what is there is not true. Pictures show a fun dining experience but reality is 3 chairs scattered about. There are no activities sponsored by the hotel otherwise suggested on their Instagram/site. There is also no elevator however the only plus was the staff was helpful and took care of our luggage. The beach is across the street, but there is no "hotel guest" spot. It is a public beach with enforced local laws, ie. no bikinis, shorts with bathing suits. Also bring your own beach towels because the hotel does not provide although they did let us use the bath towels. There are no lounge chairs at the beach either. We stayed here for 1 night before our flight home.

Transfer to hotel/airport included. Very friendly and extremely helpful staff. Rooms not very clean. I think they had a crazy busy period but I stayed in 2 rooms and neither were ver clean. Beachfront property, and seaview rooms were nice. No elevator/lift but staff carries luggage to your room. Food in restaurant/ room service very good.

Overpriced hotel, could have spent much lesser on hotels around that area with better quality standards. Lots of mosquitoes and the furniture are old and defective. Entitled to 2 bottles of water. Anything more you have to pay them. Plus point is that they provide free airport transfer (24 hours).

Ok stay.
Altogether, the Hotel was not bad. Hotel rooms photo is somehow taken at an angle or stretched so that it appears big. In reality however the Deluxe room which I was staying in is somewhere 8ft x 8ft which was kind of let down as we did not expect room to be so small. It had a separate bathroom and toilet with enough space, a balcony for smoking, side table, small fridge and a Safe. There was no phone, AC remote and TV remote in room which I had to ask the reception and they promptly provided. Wifi speed was okay in general however the signal would be completely lost frequently. Breakfast was not buffet as I was expecting however they would provide you with milk, corn flakes, honey, butter, bread and some items from the kitchen menu during breakfast. It's better to eat somewhere outside as I didn't see anybody eating in the Hotel, actually I didn't see any tourists around. There is a beach outside however water is not as clean as you might get around the islands, and also tourists are rare on the beach. You can stay here as the hotel staff were polite and if you are okay with small room ;).

So when we were shown to our room the first thing I noticed when we walked in was that the room smelt. They had an oil burner going but it did not mask the smell. Not sure if their were issues with the sewer pipes?? The honeymoon suite was much smaller then pictured although the bathroom was quite large. After having been travelling I was so excited to have a shower, there was no shower pressure it was just a dribble, and there was no hot water. I called reception and they said to try again in the morning. Ok then. Tried in the morning and still no hot water or pressure, I ran the water for awhile and due to the way the shower was set up water went all over the bathroom floor, after 5 mins still not hot water and I wasn't able to shower. The bathroom sink had mould around the drain, like the sink was clean but they never cleaned around the drain. The tv only got 1 channel. Breakfast was ok. Overall preety disappointed.
