“Could be good with changes”

Spacious room. Comfortable bed. Lovely helpful staff. Pool area pool area is gloomy and certainly doesn’t look as fantastic in reality as it does in the photographs. Very little sunlight reaches the area, and there are no curtains around the Balinese seating area, which is extremely uncomfortable to sit on. There are also no sun loungers, just a few chairs and no tables. The floor is very dirty and desperately needs a proper clean. For some reason, they seem to think that simply wetting the floor will miraculously make it clean! A hard brush or pressure washer would be a much better solution especially when the street dogs visit each morning to pee up against the furniture. If you decide to stay here, make sure you bring pool shoes or flip-flops for getting in and out of the pool, otherwise your feet will be filthy. The pool itself has a large tide mark around the edge and the water is cloudy on occasion. I wanted to use the pool this afternoon, but there was a large group of young Indian men playing extremely loud techno music. They appeared to be a little worse for wear, so we decided to give it a miss. Management really should put a stop to this kind of behaviour. Wi-Fi If Wi-Fi is important to you, I would suggest having plenty of mobile data as a backup. The hotel advertises high-speed Wi-Fi, but this certainly wasn’t our experience. Downloading anything or streaming was virtually impossible due to constant buffering. Safety Be careful of the very uneven paving stones near the entrance. I nearly fell over them, so they definitely need attention. Check-in and staff Check-in was good, and the staff were all lovely and helpful. However, no information was forthcoming about restaurant opening times or when the rooms would be cleaned. (you need to hand in the key to reception if you require cleaning) A little more information on arrival would have been appreciated. Bar and drinks The property is advertised as having a bar, but we couldn’t find one. In reality, drinks are simply delivered on request

The staff and the property were perfect for a solo traveler, and everything else was fine.

The staff were friendly and helpful, but the bathroom felt tired and tatty in places and clearly needed upgrading.
