Nice pool and restaurant that's as far as it goes. Rooms dark and very noisy a public bar is right next door and room service is pathetic. Don't hire a car from here they don't provide you with a local licence that you must have and the insurance is a joke. Have an accident and pay premium later. Dodgy to say the least.
Pros: Great pool, handy location to town centre, markets and harbour promenade, clean room, reasonably priced cocktails.
Cons: The room, although spacious, was like an air conditioned box. We were upstairs in the deluxe block - a ceiling fan and a screen door would give occupants a choice between air con and fresh fan-cooled air. Menu choices were not the best - too much fried, fattening, bland food. Luckily the Amanaki restaurant next door was very good. The lady in charge at reception was very rude to her staff in front of guests.
I would not stay here again.
We stayed there in August, we handed over our passports and New Zealand cash to be placed in the safe, next day we asked for a passport for our tour, when we came back we put passport and another $50.00 cash into the safe.
Owner was there and put it in the safe that no staff had access to.
Night before leaving we asked for our envelope back, receptionist counted our money to us, and we were short. When we talked to the reception about this, we said we would email them as we couldn't remember how much we originally started out with.
I sent email on the 15th August and have not heard anything from the establishment.
Turns out we were $80.00 short. Annoyed they have not replied to us.
Don't trust the staff to put your items in a safe, only owners.
We hope to hear from them soon, but it's been 6 weeks
I was very hungry and thirsty on a Sunday when everything in town was closed until 4:30.
even the hotel I was staying in. I was becoming dehydrated. I ordered a large bottle of water and drank half of it before the waiter came back for my order. I had a very delicious kebab. The meat was well seasoned and tender. I wish I could eat there again but I'm a bit too far away for that. The service was a bit slow, but it didn't matter to me because I had my water and a view of a very quiet park and the harbor.
If you like your space and are happy to pay for it the rooms are quite spacious in the wing overlooking the pool. The pool is great.
Staff are very friendly, although it is abit annoying that they aren't able to reconcile online bookings with the walk in system they have, regadless if you get a booking confirmation from the online booking site.
Location is quite convenient being less than 5 minutes walk from the business centre, fish market and bus terminal.
Breakfast is basic and ate elsewhere mostly for dinner.
