Positive Reviews

Spacious guest rooms.

The rooms and bathroom are larger than standard accommodations and feature a kitchenette, which is an additional bonus for the nightly room rate. The rooms have also been recently renovated and feature modern decor.

Friendly hotel staff.

The front desk staff are especially helpful and accommodating at both check-in and check-out. The staff are also knowledgeable about the area and provides information and recommendations, which is helpful to new travellers.

Great location.

The hotel is within driving distance to restaurants and points of interest, and is only a short five minute walk away from the Indian Ocean.

Negative Reviews

Busy at times.

If you arrive at the hotel during a holiday or peak season time, expect a delay of service from the front desk. During busy times, staff can become overwhelmed and service is bound to slow down -- give yourself plenty of time if you’re in a hurry.

Limited Internet access.

There’s a cap on how much Wi-Fi each room handles, which could be an issue for guests who utilise the Internet quite often or is at the property for a business trip.
