Dans l'ensemble correct

Dans l'ensemble, l'hôtel était convenable. Cependant, il y a quelques points qui nous poussent à écrire cet avis. Tout d'abord, l'hôtel ne se situait pas à l'addresse indiquée à proximité de la Golden Beach, mais tout à l'ouest où se situe l'église Buhabugali et donc, il nous a fallu prendre des bajajis pour retourner dans le centre ou venir à l'hôtel. La propreté de la chambre était au top ! L'hôtel est assez récent donc aucun souci à ce niveau. Lorsque nous sommes arrivés, nous avons bien été accueillis. La personne qui remplaçait la manageuse nous a donné son numéro de téléphone pour qu'on puisse le contacter si besoin. Cependant, le manque d'une vraie réception se faisait sentir et à chaque question de notre part, il fallait envoyer un message au remplaçant ce qui prenait un peu de temps. (Je ne pense pas que le souci soit récurrent) La nourriture était très bonne ! Mais comme nous étions les seuls guests au début, cela prenait un peu de temps pour la préparation. Après l'arrivée d'autres guests, tout était préparé très rapidement ! Je pense que cet hôtel est au top pour les personnes qui veulent se détendre loin du bruit de la ville et des voitures.
