"I genuinely enjoyed my stay at this property and felt safe during my stay as a solo traveler. While the room I had was quite basic—likely due to booking at the last minute and limited availability—it still provided the essentials for a comfortable stay. That said, there is definitely room for improvement ..."

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

We had a great Snorkeling trip that was arranged by the front desk. Make sure to bring your camera. We didn't because we thought it would get wet. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Very industrious and friendly people, but the infrastructure could use lots of work, especially the roads and the school that we visited. The people make the best of what they have but they need help.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler
