I had a lovely stay at this hotel which is conveniently located near the beach, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were adequate and comfortable, although they could use a bit of tidying up. The staff were mostly friendly and made my experience pleasant, but there were a couple of rude interactions. The dining options were decent, especially the dinner buffet, but breakfast was just okay. Overall, it feels like a good value for money.

The hotel offers breathtaking views and is located on a beautiful hill that provides a bright and inviting atmosphere. While the service was friendly, the dining experience was quite chaotic, and the cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired. It's a family-friendly place, but do expect long waits during busy times.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, which is situated in a lovely area close to the beach, perfect for snorkeling. The room I had was spacious with a beautiful veranda, though it wasn't ready upon my arrival, which was a bit frustrating. The staff could be hit or miss; some were super helpful, but I had an unpleasant interaction regarding some items I left behind. Overall, while there were some hiccups, the facilities and the beauty of the surroundings made it enjoyable.
