I love location of this hotel -on the beach.Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfeat meniu could have more variaty,it was so borring to eat pancakes and donuts with watermelion and pineapple for 2 weeks. The first room ,which we stayed was in the terrible condition -couldnt flush toilet,no hot water and later even cold.Then we moved to the room -closer to the beach ,which was much better.

Warm thanks for your advice, good news is that nowadays we are finishing the total repair and fresh renewal of all the old and new rooms. We are using very upgraded materials including new toilets, showers and total overhaul of rooms, pictures can be seen online from Mid April 2020. Services also going to improve from June as we have a very smart smaller European company to manage hotel services. We will remain advocates of local prices to all including tourists. Please return again and enjoy even more our pride of showing local authentic hospitality to the International travellers. Best Wishes and stay safe! Peter Sipano. Director, Sipano Beach.

Déçue pour le prix! Nous avions une chambre face à la mer, mais extrêmement bruyante, impossible de dormir avant 2/3h du matin, réveil à 6h maximum.. Eau de récupérateur d’eau de pluie, donc pas de douche quand nous avons envie. Wifi qui marche 1h/jour à peine. Personnel peu souriant, et ménage fait 3 fois sur 9 jours.. Excursion avec le guide de « l’hôtel » hors de prix.. Je dirais plutôt que c’est une guest house et non un hôtel 3 étoiles! Par contre petit déjeuner top, varié et très bon. Et repas très bon!! Et transat + hamac vue mer très jolie!

L'emplacement est excellent. Seules les chambres avec vue sur l'ocean sont agreables.
