Hotel is in a good central position, with the rear of the hotel overlooking the sea, as does the restaurant, which was nice at breakfast. Room was basic, but we were only there one night so was adequate for our needs. Good shower. Very nice buffet breakfast with choice of hot and cold food. Staff friendly. Private car park available.

Good hotel
Staff friendly, breakfast excellent, facilities fine. However, website implies that all rooms lookout over the bay or seafront. This is untrue as half the rooms look over a grubby back road. This is fine for a short business trip but not for 7 days holiday. No other rooms were available to us.

Noisy Hotel
+ very clean, confortable rooms with views (junior suite), good breakfast, friendly stuff
- The Restaurant Music never stops from 6:00 am till midnight (First night it never stopped). Although room is comfortable, could not sleep well because of the unexpected sounds.

Klein schoon hotel met zeer vriendelijk personeel. Kamers werden iedere dag schoongemaakt en om de dag werden de bedden verschoond.
Goed voor een kort verblijf. Op een paar honderd meter kon je lekker op het strand zonnen bij de Waikiki beach bar.
