Sand Acres At Bougainvillea

The rooms were big and very clean, the air conditioning worked well, and I thought they were pretty good. The pool area is quiet, though the sunbeds get taken quickly. The beach is beautiful, and that helped the hotel’s rating for me. The bar opens around 10 or 10:30 and usually closes at midnight, which is a shame, though it stayed open a bit later for New Year’s. The food was tasty, with no problems for me. If you want different dishes, ask a staff member, since the choices might not suit everyone. My main issue was at arrival. The man at reception had a sharp tone and didn’t make us feel welcome. I was also surprised that the cashier’s closing hours meant we couldn’t pay by card for their “tax policy.”

The food was awful, poorly prepared and far below even basic expectations. The property itself was visibly dirty, with peeling paint and a neglected feel throughout. What’s advertised online does not match reality. In my experience, this is a dated motel at best, not a resort. Comfort, cleanliness, dining, and service all fell short. I’d strongly advise people to reconsider booking. I’ve traveled widely and stayed in many quality places, and this was deeply disappointing.

The rooms are a little dated, but I’d definitely come back. The staff at the hotel, pool, bar, restaurant, and beach were all fantastic and accommodating, and the nightly entertainment was great. Just back from a fantastic stay.

You’ll need about a 15-minute walk to the main road for local transport, but getting to the beach is easy and hassle-free. The rooms may be basic, as others have said, yet mine was clean and serviced daily, with everything I needed. The pool felt a little small, though my Olympic days are over! The food was good, with a different selection each day, and may suit adults more than children who are pickier. Service was good, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is a good place to stay, although parts could use some TLC.
