The Pros:
- Excellent location, close to the seashore, right at the beach.
- Large rooms (pick the ocean view room; it is worth it).
- Mostly friendly staff that spoke some English.
- Close to bus stop.
- Close to small convenience store and some small restaurants.
- Close to ring-way and elevated walkway along the beach.
The Cons:
- Outdated, much in need of renovation.
- Fine breakfast buffet, but most of the food is cold, the dining room is not air-conditioned, mostly Asian food with very limited Western choices, total lack of service in the egg and soup station.
- Hard beds.
- Supplies not replaced/replenished on a daily basis.
- No shower door; limited privacy.
- Beach inundated and completely taken over by young couples having their wedding pictures taken.
I personally had a fine stay at this hotel, enjoyed the ocean view and proximity to the beach tremendously, but will not go here again due to the fact that the hotel is beyond outdated and in need of an immediate upgrade. The beach being taken over by photographers and young couples was a downer as well; there was literally no room for anyone else.
