A truly adorable hotel. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff is kind, and the breakfast was delicious—fresh, simple, and just what we needed. We’d happily stay again.
Great location and hotel. Big room & big bed. Spacious bathroom and fan/AC worked well. Fridge in room with minibar priced reasonably. Sun loungers and pool area for relaxation. 5 min walk to the front where the lagoon is located. Was a 15-20 min walk from the main road where the bus stop is. A very nice stay and good value
Very nice rooms, clean and comfortable. Good location in the town. Very friendly and helpful staff! There is a place to eat something and drink something but you need to bring it yourself. It's cosy! There is no restaurant or bar in the hotel.
Fine hotel, breakfast included which was also very nice. Access to drinking water and nice pool
Great place great price. Clean rooms, fresh and clean pool. Friendly staff at reception. Not so friendly staff at breakfast, mostly minder their phones. They prepare breakfast at 730/800 and it’s available from 8-10. But they don’t add extra food so at 0900 there is only a bit of bananas left, and some eggs with sausages mixed in but no normal eggs. Also the milk and juices have been out of the fridge for and hour and a half then. Location is great with everything within walking distance. It’s not on the lake but we did not miss that a single time, plenty of other ways to enjoy the lake.
The perfect spot, like 3 streets from town square and 3 from the lagoon. It has free parking in front of the hotel, it is a quiet place were it is located and the rooms a good, the hotel has a pool that you can use from 8 to 8 and the peace is a most on this place. Pets are not allowed
Wonderful service. Great location within walking distance to restaurants, Fort and town centre. Very large,clean room. Friendly staff who were very helpful when we had problems with our rental car that needed to be towed.
Spacious rooms with very comfortable beds. The AC works really well and there’s also a ceiling fan. There’s a large TV (though the signal wasn’t great during my stay) and a small fridge. The bathroom is big, with excellent hot water and pressure, plus plenty of storage space. Our room was right next to the pool, which was perfect. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast is buffet style, good quality, and you can eat as much as you like. The hotel is just a couple of blocks from the main square, with lots of restaurants nearby. I also recommend taking a tour on the lake while staying here. I would definitely stay again.
