โIt was a good hotel where I could spend a wonderful Christmas with my boyfriend. We had 6 swimming pools so we could swim quietly and the location was close to the city so it was good to have a restaurant and a beach view. First of all, hotel room was very clean, and there was kitchen, and we ate and cooked wonderful evening.โ
โItโs a bit away from the busy downtown area, which makes it quiet and peaceful. The facilities are old, but they seemed to be kept clean and well-maintained.โ

Areas for Improvement:
However, there were a few disappointing aspects during this visit.
Firstly, the shower gel in the bathroom was completely empty, with only a bit of water left inside. Iโm not sure whether the previous guest used it all or took it, but it seemed the housekeeping staff had not checked or refilled it before my arrival. This is something that definitely needs more attention.
Secondly, after checking out the next day, I was informed that my swimming trunks had been blown off and had fallen to a lower level. When I asked about retrieving them, I was simply told that it was difficult since check-ins were ongoing. The response felt rather dismissive.
In particular, the female staff member at the front desk in the afternoon did not seem very willing to help, which left me slightly disappointed. One of the main reasons I"
