Very Good Featured review
Lol C.
8/10
The rooms are very spacious and have good amenities, and the air conditioning worked okay. There are two decent pools and a terrace. The bar area felt basic and a bit lifeless, and breakfast was fine but rather simple.

8/10
The location is excellent, and the rooms were clean and nicely furnished. The restaurant was really good overall, though service could be slow. Reception was disappointing: they didn’t reply to the WhatsApp lone. It also felt like too many people had been packed in, with some camping out front. Parking was never enough, and when we used one of the alternative spaces, the gate was locked, so we couldn’t leave early.

The location is excellent for visiting the beach at Bellena National Park. Our room had a nice little balcony and a good-sized refrigerator, and the breakfast was tasty. The breakfast server was very nice, though the front desk staff seemed a bit disinterested. The room was clean but needed maintenance: the shower handle came off, and we had to unplug and reconnect the microwave to make it work. Noise from other guests carried easily through the very thin walls.

10/10
The restaurant was fantastic, and I loved every dish I tried. The hotel is reasonably priced, well located, and has friendly staff. It’s also close to lots of great beaches. Can’t wait to go back.
