I found the hotel in a picturesque location, but the experience was marred by some significant issues. While the staff was generally friendly, the service was painfully slow, especially when it came to food orders. The rooms, though clean, feel quite dated and could use some upgrades. The beach was lovely, but you can't swim at low tide, which was a bit of a letdown. If you're on a strict budget and looking for a place just to sleep, it might work for you, but don't expect much more.

I had a wonderful experience at this resort, staying for 5 nights. The hospitality and cleanliness really stood out, with the staff going above and beyond to help us resolve an issue with our booking. However, the noise from the bar area during our later stay made it less peaceful than I hoped for. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking to relax and enjoy the beach.

The hotel has an inviting charm with friendly staff and a beautiful beach. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with long wait times and high prices for mediocre food. The remote location may not suit everyone's taste, but it does offer tranquility. Overall, it's a good choice for budget travelers looking for a basic stay, but certainly not a luxurious retreat.

My stay at this resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the beach access was a true highlight. However, the food prices felt steep compared to the quality, and the rooms left much to be desired. While the location is quiet, it may be too remote for those looking for more activities nearby.
