Location is everything here. Property is quaint but lovely. Staff are very nice and helpful. Close to everything. Dining options in the area (walkable) are awesome. Wi-Fi and water pressure could both be better. Water pressure is the thing that lowered the review. But I would go back in a heartbeat.

This property didn't have great reviews, and the photos didn't do it justice, this exceeded our expectations! the restaurant was excellent staff were friendly, and the layout makes for lots of private nooks to eat and hang out in. Great location, you can walk down to the beach and river.

A little bit out of the village (15-20 minute walk in) but a much better location than some in the village since it is directly beach front. Room was small but perfect for us, 2 bedside tables with reading lamps which was nice. Be sure to request a room with a balcony, even though we had a standard double room it still came with one, some do not. Julio was amazing full of information and always willing to help out. We ate in the dining room the first night, it was quite busy, we were the 4th table sat and it took 52 minutes to get our food from the time we ordered. Be prepared, go early if you can, the food was great, we also had 3 lunches pool side which was significantly faster. There are not a lot of seats by the pool, but it was never overly busy. Plenty of tables and other seating around it to choose from. Great 3 floor roof top patio, furniture is a little sparse up there. Would highly recommend staying in this spot. Views are to die for. Added bonus the local bus to Sona is less than a five minute walk at the local playground.

Très bel emplacement mais...

L'endroit est vraiment très bien situé juste devant la plage (pas mieux)accessible par un escalier direct de l'hôtel, belle piscine, mais les chambres sont dans leur jus (vieillissantes) la propreté est plus que moyenne ... Petit déjeuné très sympa, personnel serviable mais service très long (bon c'est les vacances ok)..

Du gachis , vu le lieu

L'hôtel est tres bien placé avec un acces direct à la plage mais les chambres sont tres mal entretenues, petites et pas nettes. La fenetre de notre chambre ne pouvait pas s'ouvrir, la porte au contraire ne fermait pas et la tele à changer. Nous avons demandé à changer de chambre, à voir le directeur mais il ne s'est pas deplace. Bref, le service laisse à desirer.
