HOTEL KARAYA DIVE RESORT
Muy bien la atención y el hecho que está cerca a la playa. Sin embargo las instalaciones comunes no estaban en tan buen estado (baños, piscina, area de juegos). Además el acceso más cercano a la playa es bastante oscuro e inseguro.

The Garden Suites
Very clean. Staff was helpful and friendly, once we were able to contact him. There is no lobby, no help. Very different check in. I chose this hotel for friends because it was across the street from me.

The room was excellent, the location was nice-beach close -10 minute walk. Quiet in the evenings. Front desk staff could be more welcoming. Not many restaurants in walking distance. But domicillios are abundant-and quick. It was a great stay!
