The place is modern and warm, beautiful and clean. However, there are several things that might make you reconsider staying here - or at least adjust your expectations.
Room
The room is lovely and spotless. However, it’s equipped with an old-style TV (not a smart TV), so if you want to watch Netflix or anything beyond basic satellite channels, you’ll have to use your laptop. You also won’t be able to stream to the TV unless you’ve brought an HDMI cable with you.
Another downside is that they don’t provide any moisturizer or lotion, unlike most hotels. So if you forgot yours at home or assumed the hotel would have some (as many do), you’ll need to travel 2.5 km to the nearest pharmacy - either on foot or by a 40-minute bus ride that takes a long detour. Not ideal if you don’t have a car and become a big problem if you got a sun burn.
We also received a towel with huge holes in it. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take a photo to share here.
Common Areas
Again, everything looks well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. But the pool is far too small for the number of guests, and it’s usually full of children during the day. If you’re a couple looking to relax without getting splashed, the pool quickly stops being a viable option.
A possible solution could be to install lights and make the pool area adults-only after dark. Right now, the area becomes very dark once the sun sets, making it uninviting to spend time there.
Food
There’s only one restaurant on-site, so if you’re not a fan of the menu - tough luck. The service is extremely slow; we waited over an hour for our meal after placing the order. I noticed pizzas are coming fast though.
Dinner was decent, though overpriced for the quality (looks good but tastes really not so good). The desserts were a highlight. But lunch? Avoid it unless you’re okay with a $9 hot dog.
I ordered a shrimp sandwich for $19, and it was honestly disappointing - very tiny and lacking in flavor. My husband’s $18 burger was dry and tasteless. The next day, we went to a nearby popular restaurant and had an incredible lobster lunch for two for just $58! One part of the meal included a lobster sandwich that looked similar to my shrimp sandwich - but it was generously filled and only a part of a much larger, delicious meal.
Final Thoughts
All of these issues are small and fixable. This is a great place to come with kids, and the views are absolutely stunning. I truly hope they make a few improvements, because with some adjustments, this could be a truly exceptional place to stay.
