The facilities, villa decor, and the system of the two rooms are not suitable for families, each room is very far from the other room and the pool is very hot
- Deer - The view - Room division as separate apartments and their size - Glass barrier for the pool

- The place looks like it was old and not cleaned, the carpet is worn out. - The beachfront relaxation areas are neglected and the chairs are scattered, the place looks neglected although there are workers passing by these areas but there is no attention, if the attention to this hotel was better in terms of cleanliness and arrangement it would be at the level of international hotels. - The restaurant prices are very exaggerated
Its good looks nice the public swimming pool is good i like the vibe of the place

There is only 1 restaurant and it closes at 9, the facility is full of white lizards they crawl on you while sleeping, there were 2 under my bed walking around, and at 4 am something was knocking at my window he did it like 5 times every 10 to 20 min it was waking me up, I think it's an animal but I don't know the knock sounds like a human one as he knocks 5 times in a row, and I will never go out to see who is knocking at 4 am
