"Our stay wasn’t amazing had minor issues in the room. Shampoo/body wash were empty, toilet wasn’t flushing properly, drain in the tub was slow and would collect lots of water during a shower, the phone didn’t work. Restaurant staff were ok but our favorite were Lillian, Eunice, Ali and G from the beach. Bartender did take quite a bit to make the cocktails, food was ok more local dishes would’ve been great. I know it’s outdoors but the fly’s were just obnoxious and annoying. Beach was amazing, views and quiet. Went to relax and we sure did enjoy our surroundings. "
"Kobe Suite is a nice smaller hotel, with two great pools. Limited lounge chairs around the pool area.
Restaurant on site for lunch and supper was okay, one night I found a live bug in the olive they acted quickly to resolve the issue.
Breakfast buffet is nice.
Overall we would stay again if needed "
"The best thing about this Hotel is the location, it is right on the beach. However, it is a bit tired and rundown. The room was acceptable, but could’ve done with a refresh…. Some very basic amenities were missing, such as umbrellas to shade by the pool. The staff are lovely but seemed a bit poorly trained. Although the bar has a cappuccino machine, you couldn’t get a decent coffee at breakfast. No tonic water in the bar; I’ve never been able to not get a gin and tonic at a hotel before . I don’t think I’d stay again! "
