Warm staff; great sea food
The staff is
friendly and warm. The hotel has staff down at the beach providing umbrellas,
chairs and towels which guests think is a nice gesture of hospitality. The open
air restaurant and bar on site are found superb by guests and the fresh sea
food caught locally and cooked daily is a delicious treat for them.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Poor TV and Wi-Fi reception
Guests say that the TV satellite reception at the hotel is poor and they could not watch TV for the entire length of their stay. They say Wi-Fi is a disaster as they could not connect to it as well.
negative:
Limited breakfast buffet
The
breakfast buffet has a limited spread and guests say that the service is also
poor. They find the staff limited in number. Their communication skills are
poor and many guests say that they understand nothing that is being told to
them.
negative:
Bathroom and pool issues
Many guests
say that while the bathrooms are wide, the floor is not laid out well making
water stagnate as a consequence. Guests find it hugely inconvenient that the
swimming pool area does not have changing rooms for users.
