We had booked 4 nights in advance - and did regret it after the first night.
Rooms are very old, we don’t mind that, but they are built without any isolation whatsoever, so you can hear EVERYTHING outside. And being located in a dense jungle, there is soooo much noise during the night. Even with earplugs, it was very difficult to get any sleep. Furthermore the doors were not able to close properly, and there are big gaps, so the room was visited by a lot of lizards and mosquitos. After 3 nights we have up and moved to another hotel, to get a decent nights sleep.
The hotels main attraction is the Deck Bar, which is very nice. Good food, great drinks and very good staff.
Unfortunately they let everybody walk in, so even if your a hotel guest, you are not guaranteed a lounger or sunbed. Or any privacy at all.
And this is, in my opinion, the hotels biggest problem.
The bar is apparently a instagram hotspot, and swarming with Asian tourists, taking thousands and thousands of pictures all day long.
It’s impossible to enjoy the view as there is always several “photoshoots” going on.
During dinner we had to ask our neighbors to stop taking pictures, as flashes are going off constantly. All the visitors have absolutely no respect for the people staying at the hotel, but only focused on taking as many pics as possible.
This was the biggest disadvantage for us
.
The bar is worth a visit for a drink, but I would not recommend staying at the hotel.
We will not be coming back.
