6.8/10 (36 reviews)

7th stay here in the last 9 years and always very satisfied with the hotel, can do with a little refurb in certain areas however it’s still perfect for us, just enough distance from the loud music but also close enough to beach and Bangla rd. also staff are amazingly helpful with every need met. Cece from housekeeping does an amazing job and the attention to details she uses to clean the rooms is absolutely perfect. She goes above and beyond to make sure rooms are kept clean and very respectful.

7.2/10 Good! (300 reviews)

Pictures online are definitely old. Quite run down. Not a bad location as in distance to town but up a huge hill which is difficult to walk and will cost more to get a taxi or took took up. Room wasn’t great with not much of a view. Mattress was hard. Staff were lovely and changed to a different room with no bother or charge. New room was lovely and much more updated. Comfy bed but kept slipping between the two beds pushed together. No lift and had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to room. Nice pool but chemically out of whack with the colour changing from Clear and blue to green over the course of the week. Overall was a bit disappointed with higher and different expectations but was clean enough and staff were lovely and welcoming. Could not fault the service.

Excellent long beach with nice surf waves in the morning, small in the afternoon. At times there was the occasional rubbish drifting in the undercurrents was gross and annoying, but this was not always.
