"The place is great, water flows very well and you can get warm for your shower real quick. The hotel manager Leu was helpful and addressed any concerns I had. Again Sipson Tours was great with helping me navigate my accommodation. There is breakfast included and my best part is the fruit options which always part of the meal. The downside is that there is really no variety in the breakfast meal. However, overall I enjoyed my stay. "

"The hotel was very simple, and only provided bed and breakfast. This was fine as there were a lot of walkable options for meals out. It was very close to a supermarket, and it was a convenient place to stay. The receptionists were helpful, especially Orlando and Daniel who helped us order a takeaway of local food. I was looking for a place with ac and a pool and this hotel ticked all the boxes. I would definately plan to stay there again, as we hope to be back next year with family "

"Very friendly and every time smiling service. They are well trained, but also hard treated by the boss. For example he never smiled or said hello. You feel this like a guest, too. We had a room on poolside. They rooms are very modern and comfy, but in the 3 rooms we went in had big mold patches everywhere. Everyday we had to pay our bills, like the ones for dinner. We asked for paying at checkout, they said it’s impossible etc. At the same moment our friends who sit next to us and can speak...
