Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Would not recommend staying there. The toilet was dirty/the shower was not clean and when we steped out the next morning in the "garden", we steped out in rotten fruit, which had fallen from the trees and therefore attrachted a lot of flies and mosquitos.

En General Bien. Buena atención

En general estuvo bien, las instalaciones y piscina están un poco descuidadas pero las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas y la zona verde es muy bonita. El desayuno es rico y hasta cóctel de bienvenida nos dieron, la atención es muy buena, pero la ubicación está largo del centro.

Mooie plek voor watertrips

Vanuit deze mooie plek kun je trips naar de mangrove en 2 eilanden regelen.Maak wel afspraken via het hotel en niet met de booteigenaar! Afspraken kunnen anders door een betere deal gewoon niet worden nagekomen. Het ontbijt is wel karig. De keuze tussen Koffie OF Jus d'orange had ik eerlijk gezegd nog nooit eerder meegemaakt en de hoeveelheid en keuze houdt sowieso niet over. Rust is ook niet gegarandeerd. Gasten met ghettoblasters worden als zijnde normaal geaccepteerd.

Installation vétuste

Affecte la réputation d'Expédia Restaurant correct, mais la chambre avec ses murs sales et poussiéreux démontre un laxisme extrème au niveau du ménage. Un ballon sous le lit ainsi qu'un restant de gâteau... Salle de bain crasseuse et toilette qui coule constamment donc dérangeant. Cerne gris au niveau de l'eau de la piscine. Extrèmement décevant pour ce prix.

Avoid!- Avoid! Avoid, Hotel and area. Go elsewhere

As I said above, the hotel needs a huge face lift. Bedrooms need paint, new beds, new furniture, new bathrooms, new light fixtures, ESPECIALLY new doors and locks, outside lighting, ordered parking, a better pool, more lights in the surrounding areas, landscaping, new restaurant, even some new employees would be a nice addition to some unfriendly waitresses...Even improving the breakfast choices with one or two more things can help. The area where the hotel is located is horrible (I mean it), and the GPS directions are WRONG!.
