The place really needs renovations.
The chairs needs to be cleaned they had stains on them.
The rooms need fumigation big cockroaches roaming around during the night.
It's far from the beach but close to the town center.
Sometimes electricity goes off then comes back.

Our luggage was moved to a less comfortable room the second day while we were out(all without any prior information) . Felt violated but she apologized saying the room had been booked and she had forgotten to inform us. The next day we were able to sleep in the room we had initially booked.
No minibar as indicated on the description

The staff was friendly and understanding. The proximity of the location wa great for work.
The rooms could be abit better managed. Maybe better prepping before the gusts arrive could be good for them.

Clean rooms, helpful and friendly staff, good breakfast, clean pool and nice garden, proximity to the airport, the dog Laika and the kid, Mike:)
Serene atmosphere, a good place to chill out and relax.
Wifi was on and off, so I used my own mobile data. The water pressure was very weak, it would have taken a very long time for me to wash my thick and long hair, so I decided against it. However, overall a very good value for money! They allowed me to stay a few hours after checkout, since my flight was canceled and I had to book another one later. Recommended! :)

The owner is very kind woman and we could stay in our room after check-out and She arranged also an airport transfer. The breakfast was tasty.

It was low priced.
I was hardly spoken to by the staff who seemed to purposely avoid interacting with guests. When I checked in, no one took my details, provided the wifi password, told me about times and choices for breakfast, or where the amenities were. When I checked out, there was no one at the desk. I hardly saw anyone, though I overheard a lot of talking from the kitchen. I felt very unwelcome.
The breakfast was extremely bad quality. No choices given. Slimy, blended mango, a few pieces of fruit on a plate. The other course consisted of dry cupcake, a cookie, untoasted bread, a dry sausage, a cold stale hard-boiled egg. No sauce or seasoning on the table, not even salt. One packet of instant coffee, one teabag.
My room was dark and rather hot. The shower tap leaked and the toilet did not flush well.
The pool looked a bit dirty but because the place was so unfriendly, I did not want to hang around and try it anyway.
In the morning there was a child shouting outside my door at 7am.
