Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Not directly on the beach — The hotel is a short walk from the shore rather than beachfront, which some guests may need to factor into their plans.
- Budget bungalows may lack AC and TV — Some rooms are described as having only a fan and no television, which adds to a simpler, more natural experience but may not suit all.
- No water heaters in some showers — A guest suggested adding water heaters, indicating that some bathrooms may only have cold water.
- Value for money rated lower — While overall rating is 8, the Value category scores 7.3, and one guest noted the food was 'a bit pricey'.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals, though staff were helpful with late check-in in one instance.
