Definitely not value for money

Would not recommend - it’s rotting. Left stay early. More staff and cleanliness required to meet standards. Poor/no wifi in rooms (not just me - families sent children to lobby for electronic time in the evening as only place with service) Breakfast was cold - tables dirty attracting flies - need more staff - only tried once and returned the next day but walked out again immediately. Need to upgrade their reception systems - I wasn’t on a printed out list of people checking in that day causing delay. For the price paid the standard was not sufficient.

Vi bodde på hotellet i tre netter. Det var Sinhalese nyttår når vi var der, og hotellet hadde disket opp med masse leker og god mat. Stranden lå rett nedenfor hotellet. Passer for voksne og barn. Rolig område. Hyggelige og hjelpsomme mennesker som jobber der.

Your staff is amazing. Nothing is too difficult for them. It makes a world of difference when they bend over backwards to make your stay a comfortable one. Good was great too. Your chefs were willing to cook any special needs.

A huge dissapointment

1- The hotel staff are very slow, and the problem is they are slow when it comes to solving issues, it was 10PM I am about to sleep and had to call the reception 3 times to ask for someone to come and fix the AC which was very very loud as if I am in a factory not a hotel room. 2- The bedsheets were not clean, the first time I asked the staff to come and change the bed sheets and they did, they changed it with another dirty sheets, so it seems that all bed sheets they have are dirty. 3- The water was cold from the tab till I called them to come and fix the water heater, so staying for 2 nights I had to face 3 issues which were not all properly solved. such a dissapointment.
