Overall a good place to stay and recommended, with a few areas for improvement. Mainly being the air con in our room and some little finishing touches. Nice pool and surroundings, clean and tidy. Particularly great location walkable into town and can dive/snorkel straight from the hotel. We swam from here to the sardines about 500m.
Pros:
Nice rooms seemed recently painted.
Minibar and restaurant both very fairly priced.
Cocktails good. Breakfast ok.
Location fantastic.
Pool area good.
Rooms cleaned daily to a good standard and efficiently.
Bathroom fairly typical for here, a little tired and low pressure - but don’t expect western standards.
Constructive feedback:
Air con in our room was inadequate which did affect our enjoyment, it wasn’t able to lower the temp below 27 degrees at all during the week.
No sign of the sunset yoga mentioned on the website, would have been very keen.
Multiple rooms with the same number depending on room type, seemed to cause confusion on almost every staff interaction. Could easily be simplified one room per number 😂.
One towel per person in the room feels tight for a place expecting people to be in and out of the water, no hand towels etc. To feel a bit higher / mid end as I think this place is aiming rather than a budget hotel - it’s lacking some of the smaller finishing touches on the decor etc - such as new towels which aren't tired, a hair dryer, tissues/some cosmetics, free-service water in the rooms not just reception, would make a big difference to it feeling a bit generous and instead of basic / providing the bare min. We went and got extra pool towels.
Dive centre was fully booked when I was there, but not a problem as there are dozens of others in walking distance. Suggest contacting them in advance if you are keen on using the facilities in-resort.
Went there to the dive centre 3 times to try and arrange diving and lady on the desk was friendly but communication was bit of an issue and she didn’t really know basics to answer fairly simple questions other then pointing at the price list, such as availability over the next days.
Don’t hire fins and mask for snorkelling in-resort. 650pp vs 200pp 10 mins walk away in town, lady at the dive desk was embarrassed to tell us the price - not her fault.
