Stort område rundt hotellet med små butikker og restauranter Rom: god størrelse på rommet og en god terrasse Seng som var bestilt og den vi fikk var ikke king size. Mere en mindre dobbelt seng Dusj: ok Seng: trang men grei nok Frokost: elendig Drinker: elendig Basseng: komfortabelt Kontakt med hotell på forhånd var umulig. Men når du svarer litt negativt på hotels.com om hvordan innsjekk var så hendte det noe 15 min før vi skulle sjekke ut. Så spørsmål om senn utsjekk tok 19 dager å kunne svare på. Helt ok hotell, m

I reserved & prepaid for a seaside Executive Suite but was allotted a roadside basic room with no compensation for the disparity in price. Staff was cold and unsympathetic to my request for an explanation. I feel cheated.

My booking got cancelled by the hotel, neither they nor x-peed-I-a could inform me in time to make alternative arrangements. If the failure is with the agent then they need to improve their systems. If the fault lies with the hotel, and they repeat the failure, then their services shouldn’t be offered.

This is my 7th time staying at the Slipway and it doesn’t disappoint. I do miss the supermarket that used to be located downstairs. I love the ocean views, sunsets, breakfast, and convenient access to shops and souvenirs. The restaurants - especially aroma Zanzibar and Thai Cano are delicious and the juice bar is an excellent touch. The Lido lounge and padel courts were a fun addition this year. I also enjoy the spa each time we come. Thank you to the consistent and wonderful staff. Asante!

Great place to stay. Beautiful atmosphere. Plenty to do. But I had a VERY BIG issue checking in. When checking in hotel did not have booking from Expedia. I showed proof of booking and gave me room for 1st night. But said they were full second night, so I had to talk to Expedia about it because I did not want to be without room second night. But was told to just wait. It ended up working out and hotel let me stay in room both nights. But having the extra stress was unfair to me .
