A good hotel with multiple amenities
Set on the waterfront, this resort is well-kept, with a spacious lush garden, a refreshing pool with sun loungers, three eateries and two bars. It also has its own marina for diving excursions. There are two snorkelling and scuba diving centres very close by making it very convenient for divers. There's also a washing centre for the diving gear. It is close to bike rentals, and a five-minute drive by taxi to the town centre.

The hotel needs an update
The property looks tired and could do with a facelift say guests. A little upgradation and refurbishment will make it much better. Issues like intermittent lack of water supply, no hot water, leaky faucets, non-functioning fridges, old-fashioned TVs, bugs and noisy air conditioners have been reported.
negative:
Wi-Fi is slow
The Wi-Fi signal is weak and not available in all parts of the property.
negative:
Not suited for non-divers
The place is better suited for divers than non-divers feel guests. The diving centres close by and the gear cleaning facilities made it convenient for guests to plan their diving trips. Non-divers who needed to spend more time indoors and sightseeing would find the accommodations too basic, and location inconvenient and far from other attractions.
