The property is very neat, old school. There is a lot of potential here. First impression is oh no what have we done, but the staff is sure friendly . The room was big, clean, comfortable and good ac. Plenty of restaurants in walking distance.close to many attractions in the area including cruise port. Very quiet, comfortable bed and hot shower. Not much on breakfast. Walked around he property after it quit raining, nice pool area and very cool property. Vintage but in decent shape.I liked it and would stay again.

It was good for a quick stay. The room was clean. It is a old beachside like hotel with rusty hinges, but comfortable and convenient. The breakfast should just be called cereal and bread with apples there was nothing else on offer. The hotel value for the money gave us options to eat elsewhere.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed.

Alright, let's start with the positives ; 1) Super friendly staff 2) The bed was really comfortable 3) The place was really quiet , couldn't hear any sounds. Now let's do the negatives: 1) The breakfast was a joke, I have never seen a breakfast as bad as this one, I am not sure if the owner reads these reviews... but if you are reading this, you can't claim you offer breakfast. This is what they got for breakfast : Apples, bread ( not even outside the plastic bag), coffee and 2 cereals, butter and 1 type of jam, milk and orange juice, muffins ( Who eat muffins for BF??). Not even water was available. 2) They don't clean your room everyday. Not even to give fresh towels. 3) Everything is old, like... from the 90's I guess or even older, the aircon could not cope with the hot weather 4) The whole place feels like it was abandoned, the pool area with lots of trees fallen down, the gym which was permanently closed , The pool bar was also closed, I am really not sure what happened on this place, I guess at some point on the 90's was a really nice place, but now it's just old, abandoned and neglected which is a shame. 5) when I was talking to my taxi driver and I told him I was staying there he felt sorry for me... the place have some kind of bad reputation I guess. 6) The wifi... if you are close to the reception you are good, but if you are staying at the back rooms, it does not work. You can say you get what you paid for.

This place could be so much more. It seems a little run down. The continental breakfast is just sad. The pool is nice and so is the staff.
