10/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)

This properly was beautiful, can’t recommend enough. Room was amazing and staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Only a 7 minute tuk tuk from the beach.

8/10 Very Good! (15 reviews)

Terrible check in experience, we made a mistake with the booking & the staff made us feel like criminals. The property was not very clean and overpriced for what it was. No elevators so had to take the stairs up to the 4th floor with air cons sticking out into the hallway which was 1000 degrees. The view of the ocean was lovely, but that was about the only good thing with this property. The fruit served at breakfast was rotten too.
