I had to change my booking because of delayed flight and they accommodated me. They also picked me up at the SeaCoach. Great breakfast. Loved the room on the third floor with a balcony. Room spacious and clean. All my needs plus were met. Pool could have been cleaner but it is rainy season. Nice stay friendly people. ##### Nancy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ousseynou Jun 18, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I always try to not let emotions get on the way when i write these reviews. Quitely, I'm only giving this hotel a 1 star because Wikipedia doesn't allow for a worst rating. The things i have experienced and lived in this hotel are down to laziness and pure mediocrity and it's totally unacceptable for a hotel charging over 80 dollars(for the room i booked). Needless to say i don't recommend them to anyone. Here is the list: 1.Checkin was super slow beause the reception was closed and the receptionist sleeping when i arrived 2.The water in the room was so red, smelly and unclean that I had to go buy water from outside to brush my teeth 3.The phone in my room was not working and so it was impossible to reach reception to report issues or reach the restaurant to order food 4. Internet either doesn't work or is too slow to be useful when it works. I had to miss important zoom meetings with my colleagues because of this 5. They say they have a gym but in reality the gym is not functional and so it's simply a lie to say they have a gym 6. Horrible breakfast: not enough food varieties and the food is not fresh 7.They got me change room at some point. In the middle of my shower, I saw a baby snake near the bathroom tube. Thanks God, i kept my composure and avoided any potential injury than panicking could have led to 8. The proPerty in general is old and smelly and so it was unsurprising that in the few days I stayed, I didn't meet any other guests around. ##### Ousseynou Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort My stay was initially great but the night security supervisor was very rude to me at the main entrance gate. He made a lots of assumption and he may need further training in customer care, diversity and respect for all without prejudice. He refused to provide his name. However, I raised my concerns at reception at about midday. ! ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sang Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 해변가의 리조트라 다음에 다시 오고픈 장소입니다 ##### Sang Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fatoumata Binta Jan 22, 2025 ##### Fatoumata Binta Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dariusz Dec 2, 2024 ##### Dariusz Stayed 12 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel Nov 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Joel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paa Kwesi Mar 8, 2024 ##### Paa Kwesi Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maxwell Jan 22, 2024 ##### maxwell Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Nice place, big rooms.

Avoid the villas, poor manteinance or lack of care. The facilities were disgusting. We found coakrages and geckoes in our rooms, holes in the nets filled with paper, unsealed doors and windows that would make insects welcoming. The linen was dirty and and rotten. The breakfast was poor. The positive were 2 people from the staff, Alima from the reception and Kadija the lady that took care of the towels and linen, she was friendly and very nice. The Villa 1 was a nightmare, avoid avoid avoid. ##### VERA MARIA Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Felicitas Jan 26, 2023 ##### Felicitas Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Samuel Oct 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Samuel Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy May 22, 2022 ##### Jeremy Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Apr 22, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Poor Performance There were too many maintenance issues and the food served in the restaurant was sub-standard ##### Verified traveller Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2022
