The room was as advertised. It was very clean, however, there were only 2 bottles of water on arrival. It was the Christmas season and there was hardly any Christmas carols or music in the foyer area during our stay. The fans in the swimming pool area were removed and it can be stifling at times with the humid weather without the fans. The ceiling was not repaired properly and it does not look like a 5 star hotel in the pool area. A bit disappointed for the price we paid. The breakfast spread was excellent.

It 's a pleasant stay for us. The spacious room and also the beautiful view. The room has beautiful colonial design with high quality amenities. Good view from the balcony is very relaxing too. Really worth the price and can't wait for another stay!

If it's a ten, I'll give it a nine and the breakfast is very delicious and there are many kinds of choices, the dinner is hard to tell, the menu is delicious, everything is delicious and the room is very big and the bathroom is super big and the lights are very bright and the service is very fast and responsive, the hotel is already reaching 130 years, but the maintenance is very well maintained and the only hotel which is only 50 meters away from the beach, seems clean and peaceful.
