    Super loud at night. The bar beside it had loud music very late and the walls are super thin.

    Location. Amazing spot right on the beach.

    that the bar across the street allows people to gather in front of the hotel, they stayed until 500 am and they sit on the wall. The Bikini bar needs to have security and turn down the music over the night and close and make people leave not allow solicitation

    we didnt get breakfast had no idea about breakfast

    Super noisy! Can’t sleep until 3am because there’s an every day beach electronic music party right in the backyard.

    First of all, the address entered on Booking is about 5 streets too far away, so be careful when navigating through Booking, enter the name of the hotel, and then you will get there (hopefully ;-)). I don't know if the building can be called a "hotel" - just a building knocked down from wooden planks (zero soundproofing, according to this). No table, no chair, so no place to put your book, glasses, cell phone for the night. Just a central light, no reading lamps by each bed. Sockets so high that cables to charge mobiles didn't reach the floor. Shower didn't work, just water peeing out of it ever so slightly, and it wasn't warm. There was a cockroach running around the room all night, even on my wife's arm - yuck. The discos were going full blast until 2am, some of the more distant ones until 4am (it should be stated in the description that this is not a quiet zone). The photos of the pool don't match the reality, it's much smaller.

    Not much good, except perhaps that the beds weren't bad, and that their WiFI was already working, although it wasn't offered, and that there were towels available for the beach.

    The rooms are about 50m from a beach club which played unbelievably loud music until 5am on all 3 nights we were there. Even though the bar says they close at 3am locals congregate on the beach with speakers and continue to shout, play loud music and rev their quad bike engines. We did stay on NYE so late music would be expected that night, but not on the other two nights and definitely not at a volume where the bed would vibrate and noise cancelling headphones PLUS ear plugs didn't make a slight difference We had money stolen from us during room service The water went off for about 2 hours on our first day so no washing hands, flushing the toilet or showering

    Nice view of the beach, central location (this is also a huge negative though) and clean (although we had money go missing from our room following room service so also not really a positive)

    There is a bar that sits directly across from the hotel and it does not stop BLASTING music til 04:00 or 05:00, even on a Monday night. I hate to be dramatic, but even our pillows were shaking from how loud the music was. The showers are not sealed so water will come pouring out into the room and wet anything you have stored in the “closet” if you have it close to the wall. There is zero insulation in the structure so all sounds can be heard from your neighbors talking in the next room, to the insane bar across the street, to the construction noises during the day from staff. Truly one of the worst nights of rest we have ever gotten from staying at any hotel in the world. It’s sad that this peaceful island has to deal with a bar that doesn’t care about anyone around it. When mentioned to the staff they said there is nothing they can do about it. Also note, the WiFi barely works in the rooms furthest from the check in hut. If it wasn’t for the horrible noise issue this place would have received 3 stars instead of 1 based off of proximity to the restaurants, beach, and its price for what it is

    The location was close to all the restaurants in town and staff was easy to communicate with on WhatsApp

    You come Because of the sea fotos and you end on some kiind of a animal wood shelter no isolacion só cold as hell in the night time and where you can hear clearly the disco music all night and the workers hitting with the hammer and drilling all day so no way you can sleep any time day or night.As extra you have a dirty Room full of cocaroches(big bugs) and lots os small ants everywhere.The WiFi almoust never works and also electricity does stop once or twice a day.But dont ask to the recepcion Because they Will treat you with arrogance and horrible behavior. Worst holidays ever.

    You're next to a beachbar, which plays music until 3-5 AM in the morning. Felt like I booked a room inside a night club. If you're gonna party all night long, this is a perfect spot, just don't come home early.

    Close to the centre, right at the beach. They did move us after complaining about the noise, but I assume they can't do it with everyone
