Nice and tidy place. Only disruption was very loud morning prayer call. No Netflix only local tv, no English Channel.

Bayview Beach Resort
Great view, if you're anywhere near ocean side. Towels could be replaced with thicker ones. But rooms, beds, and amenities are great.

Checked in was very smooth, "Yaya" from the checked in counter was very helpful and she even call the room to check is everything ok. Breakfast spread was superb. The only setback was the pillow for my 4 nights stay, to soft, maybe hotel can invest for a better pillow, a bit firm should be nice.
