“The location was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.”
The location was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It’s conveniently close to the city centre and also near Casino 21, which was definitely a highlight.

“Bes”
I like the location. It was close to the things I needed, like ATMs, Shopping centre and Bar. I only spent a few hours just catch my flight in the early morning but the comfort was superb. The staff are so friendly as well. They waited for me as I was the last one to check in before the close of reception. Loved it!!!!

“Overall is a good place. Could really use some small fixtures to justify more the price and improve experience, but coul”
Very well self contained. It had everything we needed for our stay. Room is big, full kitchen with all basic appliances to make light meals. Big fridge and microwave. The bed is big and comfortable. The room had aircon and a ceiling fan which was great. The best feature was the pool, was quiet enough and very refreshing to chill after a long day of exploring. Location is very convenient, just by the main road and a 5 mins walk to the supermarket. 10 mins to the city. Staff also was great, really kind ladies, very helpful and with good manners. Room was made up daily with fresh towels.

“Lovely people, clean and tidy room… but not great pool or wifi.”
The people here are absolutely lovely! The staff would be the reason you stay. They’re very helpful and kind. The location isn’t too bad as you can walk to the markets etc. The security guard helped me in the early hours with my bus to the airport and made me feel safe as a single female traveller. The rooms are quite large.

“Dedicated staff, comfortable and clean rooms”
Clean, spacious and comfortable rooms. The fresh sea breeze keeps them fresh at night. The reception staff was helpful and dedicated in helping me with my tours and visit requests. They managed to arrange a tour for me to the Roy Mata sites, and even helped finding someone else to go with me! They arrange airport transport in the middle of the night too. Super welcoming staff.
