Positive Reviews
positive:
Fun in the sun.
Guests were all set for a great vacation with a wonderful pool and beach area. The swimming pool was said to be a great temperature with lots of sun beds and toys for the kids. Equally as good was the private beach, which was well maintained and had plenty of shady spots to cool down at.
positive:
Excellent staff.
The housekeeping team deserved extra mention for their friendly attitudes and top notch effort in making sure everything was nice and tidy. Guests were happy with the cleanliness of their rooms, and attributed the diligent staff with the great condition of accommodation.
positive:
A relaxing time.
Guests felt like there was no question that they were on vacation. The quiet beach allowed for uninterrupted sun bathing or reading, and the hotel offered a laid back, low key vibe that meant guests could relax and unwind.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some sprucing up would go far.
Many guests complained of dated accommodation. Some thought that the state of rooms was reflected in the price that they paid, but others felt that it was time to bring in some new furniture and carpet. Unsubstantiated reports suggest that a makeover is in the works, but until then, rooms might not be up to standard.
negative:
Noisy air conditioners.
Air conditioning units have seen better days, according to guests who were sometimes left tossing and turning due to the noise. It might be a good idea to bring ear plugs if you are concerned about unwanted sounds.
negative:
Parking a challenge.
A few guests commented that parking their vehicle was an exercise in patience. It was a challenge to fit cars into designated spots, and some said that it would be easy for scratches to occur.
