positive:
Peace and quiet
The resort is very quiet and peaceful. If this is exactly what vacationers require, then this hotel is ideal. If, on the other hand, a more lively vacationing experience is required, this resort might be a little too quiet for some.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Beach way flooded
The walkway to the beach was flooded on one occasion, as some of the guests found when they stayed here. This caused inconvenience and footwear being ruined.
negative:
Weak Wi-Fi, noisy air-conditioning
The Wi-Fi here can be very weak at times, causing a problem for those who need to stay connected. Some of the guests find that the air-conditioning here is rather noisy and can spoil their sleep.
negative:
Rooms need refurbishing
Although the rooms in the resort are clean and very well maintained, they are rather dated and could do with a refurbishment to restore the shiny, new look. Some of the fixtures are old and need to be replaced.
