A very nice hotel.
Pros:Inexpensive, nice location, great staff. Excellent pool. Not a "Backpacker" location so people behaved like respectful adults.
Cons:The hot water was inconsistent.
Location:Large market, good food downtown, cheap drinks -$5.00 via tuk tuk each way. Big property to walk around and enjoy the jungle setting
Nice staff and excellent service for that part of the world. Great value for food, in room dining and cocktails. They are insanely cheap compared to most resort settings eg: $2.00 beer in mini bar, $3.50 cocktails etc. Most room service meals averaged $12.00 pp USD.
The beach is small and well maintained. It was perfect for our stay during the off season. Dont expect the white sands and crystal clear water of the Caribbean, do expect intense sun and nice views. The nearby beaches are poorly maintained (consider where you are,) The town and markets are nearby; $5.00 via tuk tuk each way. Food is abundant, drinks are ridiculously cheap and there is plenty to see.
The hotel is performing renovation work so some facilities were unavailable.
