3 days stay
We asked for a late check out and they didn’t allow it. We had a child with us and we needed an extra hour. It would have been a nice gesture to allow us that late check out. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Excellent breakfast service from Mohammed Salah and Racquel.
Overall really enjoyable stay. One minor inconvenience was that the air conditioning in our room didn’t work so it was too hot in the room.

It is a nice hotel but very outdated. The room I was in needed a renovation yesterday. The bathroom was clean but again needs a renovation.
The beach and pool areas are very nice!! Sand is clean, the pool is large, there is a sitting area as well, where you can enjoy a sunset. I would come back but wish the hotel had some Reno done inside.
