The hotel offers lovely one-bedroom accommodation with kitchen facilities and a view of the beach. The rooms, although not clean at all and exposed to passing people, are nicer with a better layout, providing reasonably comfortable stay. However, the housekeeping service would benefit from more attention to cleanliness. The location is unbeatable with loads of activities to do on the island, but some areas, like the pool, are in need of renovation. The dining experience varies from being great and good value for money to very average depending on the dish chosen.

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The room, though lacking a view, was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed and a luxurious marble bathroom. The service was friendly and welcoming, making me feel well taken care of. The location, while fantastic with beautiful views, had some disappointing aspects, and the dining experience was mixed. However, the facilities were satisfactory, providing a decent stay.

The hotel had a fantastic location, offering snorkeling straight off the beach and a marvelous setting. The rooms felt moldy and cramped, especially those facing the staircase, but the garden view was pleasant. The service was a mix of incredibly friendly and some rudeness, particularly in the restaurant and reception. Dining was satisfying with a good selection, but it was noted to be pricey for families. The facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, offering a perfect ocean view and easy access to the beach. However, the room I ended up in was not ideal, facing a common walkway with no seating options, and being quite a distance from the reception. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff members being very helpful and friendly while others fell short. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast provided was enjoyable. Despite the drawbacks, the overall value for money was decent.

The hotel sold us a 'view' which turned out to be a cliff, quite gloomy even with the curtains open. The room was large, comfortable, and had lovely tropical vibes. The service was fantastic overall, especially at the general store. The location offered clear water and facilities like snorkeling, but the pool area needed renovation. The dining experience was fair and had some billing issues. The hotel has some fantastic aspects but also some drawbacks worth considering.

The hotel offers excellent rooms with a kitchen, washing machine, and dishwasher, spacious and luxurious for our standards. The service was amazing, providing a humidifier and being incredibly hard-working. The location, waking up to the ocean every day, was top-notch, offering beautiful walks and beaches. The dining experience was excellent, with great food and service. Overall, a fantastic stay with minor room odor issues and limited fish sightings near the coral.
