Most Horrible Experience of Life
Horrible hotel, unprofessional, pathetic, poor, shameless. We had paid booking for 4 single rooms, when we arrived we were told the booking is confirmed and paid but there are no rooms available and forced us to another lower class class hotel. To our surprise, we were offered two rooms in that lower class hotel. Had to beg for 4 rooms for an hour to get. Will never visit this hotel again.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the airport so if you have a late night flight this might be a great option for you. However, even though hotel description lists airport shuttle they do not in fact provide one. We contacted them in advance and although it was confirmed by them, they did not send anyone to meet us. We have heard the same story from other people who were staying at the hotel. Breakfast is provided, rooms have air conditioning and they provide beach towels, but the beach is rocky and during low tide you could be walking for miles until the water even hits your knees so not much swimming can be done in the ocean. They do have a small pool where one can refresh.
