This mid-range beachfront property features charming grounds, a raised sea-wall lounger deck with ocean views, and an excellent swimming pool. Security is commendable—dedicated beach guards are posted, and staff demonstrated complete integrity when our safe was accidentally left unlocked.
However, several drawbacks affect the stay:
Dining: Breakfast is the weakest link—extremely dry pastries, no egg/omelet station, diluted brewed coffee, and very limited choices. The dinner menu is narrow (challenging when following strict travel food precautions), though the Bolognese and kingfish were acceptable. Better dining lies a short walk toward Kendwa.
Service & Staffing: Housekeeping was inconsistent, frequently omitting towels, drinking water, and coffee refills. The hotel admirably hires local youth, but low English proficiency caused communication hurdles; trainee badges would help calibrate guest expectations.
Rooms & Tech: Beds are too short for taller guests. In-room Wi-Fi was unstable (2/4 bars, frequent drops), and the captive portal disrupted automated background cloud backups for tech gear.
Beach & Tides: Tides remain significant. Heavy seaweed blankets adjacent lots; while the hotel clears its section, the water remains unappealing for swimming. For effortless ocean swimming, Kendwa is superior.
