I last stayed here 15 years ago and some things have improved but overall it’s the same. Great location with quiet grounds. The pool is large and usually quiet though not many loungers. Best of all are the lovely doormen who are friendly and helpful, and the excellent Ayurvedic Centre. I had several treatments and all were excellent. Also, breakfast is good. The chefs are friendly and make so many dishes on the spot.

Accepting that the property is quite old and run down, it’s a lovely stay and good value. Location is great. Food is great. Staff are great. Some features that are older are quite nice & quaint, like the tiles around the bath tub, the bottle openers in the bathrooms and the wood paneling. Others less so, the generator hum and the facade could really benefit from a paint. This seems reflected already in the reviews and the price, so we had a great stay. Would recommend taking a pool view room

The packed breakfast before we took our flight was great.

The hotel is very nicely located, just 5 minutes from the beach and in a location that is not on a main road, so there is no hustle-bustle or noise of the traffic. The breakfast was one of the strong points of the hotel, with huge variety and very delicious.

Except for a disappointing experience at check-in when our twin bed room wasn't available despite a specific reminder the dat before, the experience in all aspects was excellent. The rooms and facilities inside are dated and old (our wash area tap handle was cracked) but these are more than compensated by the friendly staff and excellent service.

The staff are the most pleasant and polite. The rooms are pretty clean, and so are the open areas of the hotel. The ambience of the hotel itself is perfect for relaxation and to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is not a new hotel, that's obvious ! And it certainly needs new paint at the outside ! But otherwise we appreciated the service, the room, the food, and certainly the swimming pool ! And a perfect location to visit the center of town on foot (or tuctuc), close to the beach and the promenade where thousands of people like to come strolling around in the evening. It's not the most flashy 5star hotel but for that price, we will go back again !

Arranged collection from airport which worked well - they even checked I was in the car ok as we had been delayed. Grounds of the hotel were lovely - both front and back. The ‘doorman’ was particularly good and attentive and helpful
