Orbitz app was helpful to communicate with hotel to confirm transfer for airport (for a fee). This was helpful since are not plentiful. Nearby beach clubs offer secure beach and restaurant service at the beach. Helpful and friendly staff.

Great place for tourists!

The hotel is in a great location with many restaurants nearby. Every staff member went above and beyond to help me. The breakfast offered a great selection. I normally never watch tv in a hotel, but the selection of channels was amazing. I appreciated getting caught up on one of my favorite US shows!

Lovely place to stay

It was a absolutely loverly place, and the shuttle service is a great no worries about getting there. The place was really clean and comfortable and the people very friendly. Breakfast was really good. It is a pity of the location, we walked and got to see the real way of life. So I suppose overall it was a great experience. The local art and deco of the place is breath taking.

Not so good, the hotel supposed to fetch us at airport but didn’t pitch so we had to call and eventually they came. Property is not in the best location and is a bit run down with uncomfortable beds, poor breakfast and a bit dirty

A friendly hotel - very helpful and welcoming staf

We enjoyed 2 nights here, one before and one after an organised birdwatching tour. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and a shuttlebus to and from airport is included in room price which is quite reasonable compared to hotels nearer to town centre. Great for a short stopover. Would certainly stay there again.
