Overall, we were not too impressed with this hotel. It is supposed to be a heritage resort but really all this seems to mean is that they haven’t updated anything since the 1950’s when the Beatles apparently stayed here. The location is stunning amidst beautiful greenery and jungle. I have no problem with the original architecture of the buildings to maintain the heritage aspect, but they really could update the sewerage, water, bathroom, and kitchen somewhat at least. We ended up staying in two villas during our time because the water wasn’t working in villa #1 (the one we booked) when we arrived. They said sorry but offered 0 other concessions for this. They also had us go back to the room and move all of our stuff rather than just saying pack it and we’ll move it for you. It was fine overall, but I prefer to relax on the beach on my vacation rather than moving back and forth to different rooms. Anyway, this gave us a chance to check out two villas - I included pros and cons of both below. The famous beach “Frenchan’s” is the best part of the resort. But it’s been pretty quiet the whole time we were here, so you can see it for 25USD as a day trip. You don’t really need to be staying here to get a good spot or anything.||Beach|Pros - gorgeous photo opps, beautiful, sandy, cool how the water is a mix of l cold to warm||Cons - small, limited shade if it gets busy, still need to pay for beach chairs even if you’re staying at the resort, restaurant is very slow and disorganized (super nice folks but they forgot to preorder us breakfast twice when we asked, and the kitchen is so small, you could be waiting for a hot meal for 1-2 hours)||Villa 11 (West side)||Pros:|- Working wifi|- More bathroom space|- Small sea view||Cons:|- Shower didn’t drain properly - we made them aware but the problem only got worse to the point when the toilet was flushed, the contents of the toilet came up into the shower. Absolutely disgusting.|- Kettle was broken when we arrived (they replaced it when asked)|- no outlets in bathroom|- Outdoor area was not maintained - garbage, debris from fallen trees, patio stones crumbling||Villa 1||Pros:|- Gorgeous view of the sea|- Outdoor seating area|- Outdoor area is maintained more|- Outlets in bathroom||Cons:|- no wifi on this side|- Sliding doors don’t work except for the one that lets you in and out
