It’s important to note that this is a work in progress and the hotel is being renovated.
In terms of bang for your buck: I can recommend it. The pool was cleaned every few days and was a refreshing spot to hang out in. Wonderful spot to look at the sunset too.
The rooms are well maintained with a small kitchen and a large fridge.
Free water was provided and we mostly used the hotel as a place to sleep in order to explore the island.

Kunne jeg give 0 stjerner havde jeg gjort det, det her var uden tvivl det værste hotelophold jeg nogensinde har haft!
Jeg endte med at skifte hotel efter 24 timer fordi der var små dyr der kravlede over alt - endda på min lille baby når hun skulle skiftes. Hotellet gjort ikke noget ved det og påstår der ingen dyr var, men sjovt som min datter ellers har fået små insektmidler mens vi var der.
Værelset kunne heller ikke køles ordentligt ned og altandøren kunne ikke låses. Poolen var så beskidt og ikke noget jeg ønskede at bade i.
Da vi skulle tjekke ud var personalet så fjendtlige og sure på mig - virkelig en ubehagelig oplevelse. Jeg ville råde alle til, at holde sig langt væk fra dette hotel.

Værelset var fint og rent, men aircondition larmede ret meget. Lidt sjovt sted da der er ret rodet og nusset. Der var ingen ved receptionen da vi kom så skulle check-in via WhatsApp hvor størstedelen af kommunikationen foregik. Morgenmaden var sløj og poolen var ikke til at bade i da den var meget beskidt. Det ligner ikke billederne og “stranden” kan man ikke bruge. Så hvis man bare mangler en ok værelse og så ellers kører ud til andre strande er det et ok sted at være.

Nous avons été d ésagrément surpris que le changement des serviettes de bain et de toilette n'étaient pas inclut dans la prestation ainsi que la chambre n'avait pas été refaite.

Prachtig hotel complex met op het terrein verschillende appartementen. Appartement is super mooi en netjes van binnen, overal van voorzien en ruim. Rustige omgeving en eiland, scooter is wel een must.

Die Unterkunft war sehr ruhig und cool gestaltet. Leider stehen viele Häuschen leer, vielleicht werden sie noch renoviert.
Die Unterkunft hat super Potential! Man könnte noch viel mehr draus machen!
Personal sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und cute!
Es hat ein bisschen aus dem Gulli im Bad gestunken.. war aber glaube ich nur bei uns so.
Wenn man sich auf englisch nicht verstanden hat, dann wurde einfach mit dem Übersetzer ausgeholfen.
