Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with stunning sea views. While the room was basic, it didn't come at premier inn prices. The overflowing of water due to a storm caused some inconvenience with electricity issues and flooding.
The hotel had some issues with cleanliness like a bed bug infestation, but the rooms were decent, and the staff, especially Lakmini, were very friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is lovely by the ocean, although there were some cleanliness issues on the property. The dining experience was simple but good, and the facilities were acceptable.
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with a beachfront view and pool attendants. While some rooms may be in need of updates, I would still choose to stay here again. The service was exceptional, especially from a lady named Lakmini in the dining area, though there was a disturbing incident with a dog. The location is fantastic, near the airport and with a beach-luxury ambiance, but could do without the presence of crows and litter. The dining experience, though repetitive, provided a good variety of options every day. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor room improvements needed.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was top-notch, being right on the beach and surrounded by lively restaurants. The rooms weren't as clean as I'd like, and the construction noise was a big drawback. However, the service was attentive and thoughtful, making our stay more comfortable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were basic, clean, and comfortable but sadly lacked any view, tucked away in a noisy corner of the building. The service, however, was exceptional with a very nice gesture to arrange the beds together. The location was convenient with various dining options nearby, but the surroundings were somewhat unkempt. The dining spread was diverse but somewhat repetitive. Overall, it was a decent stay with ups and downs in different aspects.
I found the hotel to offer a mixed experience. The rooms were small, some with flooding showers but others boasted a large balcony with stunning sea views. The service was a mix of heartless behavior towards animals alongside welcoming and helpful interactions, especially after a long flight. The location was a plus near the beach and airport, but with some unpleasant restrictions on beach access. The dining was hit or miss with repetitive options but decent value for money. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
