My 2 rooms were on the ground level next to the lobby. It was noisy until late at night. The room, furniture, kitchen and bathroom were all very old. The shower was in a bad shape. The restaurant and dinner buffet had very low quality food for fairly high prices. Much nicer restaurant are all around the hotel with good food and good services. The hotel is located in a great area though.

The hotel is really good for the price. The pool area is very nice and the view from our room which was quite high up with a pool and ocean view was stunning. The building itself is a little old and sound proofing could be better but overall we enjoyed our stay

The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, and I am very grateful for that. They even allowed me to have a late check-out. The room was spacious, but unfortunately, it had no view — just a view of the parking lot. I absolutely loved the gym and the indoor swimming pool, and I also found the breakfast to be amazing! Overall, I had a great time and would definitely stay again.

Amazing view from room great helpful staff
The hotel is short distance from downtown; walking or by cab. We walked into town and took cabs back. The front desk staff are so helpful. The breakfast buffet is very very good. There is an abundance of places to eat dinner near the hotel. Great little kitchenette area with fridge. If you are a hotel pool person this hotel is great.

The hotel is central located near bars and clubs. Small supermarkets are also nearby. Clean room and good housekeeping.
The breakfast was chaotic, no glasses, plates or cups because they still has to wash them. No basic breakfast or solution was given for people who had to leave early.
We also had dinner at the hotel. The warm food, especially the meat and fish, was terribly dry and overcoocked. We only took the 'fresh' salades.
Small scrimps hidden is salades without mentioning it on the foodcards. 1 bottle of tap water of 0,75L costs 3 euro!!!!!!
No airconditioning in the room.

All good, I used the hotel to explore island and was close to transport routes local buses, tourist buses and quick to get a Bolt cab.
Had cooking facilities in room, so I didn’t have to wait around for breakfast (or get up early on chill days) Sea view from balcony was good.

Noisy
Not ideal with building construction or demolition going going on, I came to relax, not have my head pounded by hammers, drills and dust.
Thankfully the reception team took pity on us and transferred us to another.
To have been advised in advance would have bee n a good idea, rather than attempting to sell transfers from the airport!
Check-in at 3:00pm after coming in 11:00am to notify needed parking. Came in 2:45pm to try get car parked in time for 3:00pm. Room was not ready until 3:15pm.
Parking lot is difficult and many unauthorized cars allowed in taking spots of paying customers. Very bad and this ultimately forced me to squeeze into a tight parking last night of trip. Causing damage to car just to get gas. Have not heard back from hotel management 2nd day after reporting in incident..
