  • This was the most interesting beaches I've been to. It may look like sand, but it's actually little bits of shells. Your feet may hurt, so definitely bring flip flops to this one. Don't let the shells steer you away - they are actually beautiful. This beach is popular among locals. #LifeAtExpedia

BEWARE!! This is an old abandoned resort that someone is still renting the rooms out. Absolutely no amenities in the rooms. No bed side lamp, no shower supplies, no refrigerator, no microwave. Restaurant is closed down, pool bar is closed down. Its impossible to contact anyone at the property, you have to wait at the reception desk for someone to see you and come over. Very very run down, dirty and misleading. Tiny ass rooms as well.

Yes We checked in on Jan 18th. The member of staff showed us to the room. On opening the door we saw a bug running across the floor. looking at the room we saw that the bed linen was soiled ... Toilet was dirty. bidet was rusty and dirty. Shower also dirty no hot water. The sink and taps had stains from previous ocupants Doors and paintwork had finger prints and smears .The Tv on the wall had exoposed live cables.The member of staff informed us the hot water maybe on the next day. The pool had many cracked tiles which would be dangerous for any swimmer. The tennis court had moldy black stains.We were shown another room that was just as bad. The whole so called resort was unsanitry and we stayed only 1 hour. Checked and gave key back. We asked the member of staff to sign that we were checking out but she refused. This property should not be on your website for future bookings. Due to health and safety reasons

We paid extra $$ to get the suite with a full kitchen.. brought a lot of food to be able to cook our own meals, but the entire stove in the kitchen did not work, staff was never available, not enough toilet paper.. in fact we were only given two rolls for the entire four day stay. We hassled for another roll and were told they didn’t have any more. The beds were old.. they put a twin sheet on a queen bed , so the bedding was inadequate. There was no hot water for the entire stay.. contacted one man on site who worked there and he said there is no hot water! The doors did not lock and both bathroom windows did not lot. We had to use sticks in the door and window jams to secure it. We contacted Expedia for help but they are refusing to help us in any way other than a $100 credit on a room that cost us almost $1000.00. Staff was unavailable at the hotel And there was never anyone at the front desk. I am completely disappointed in the so called “ resort” and also that Expedia would allow this to happen!!

The place is not as advertised, it needs a complete renovation. Rooms were super old. We were not expecting a five star as it was just a last minute secession due to our next accommodations would not be ready until the next day. I still feel it was overpriced for what we had.

The pool is falling apart, there is no restaurant or bar as was advertised in the photos. The hotel is pretty much abandonded, the beds were absolutely horrible and were like sleeping on a piece of plywood! The sheets and pillows had stains on them. We asked for a refund immediately after checking in, but we were denied by the owner. Overall terrible hotel, I wouldnt recommend this place to my enemy!

Bad experience. The hotel is in pretty bad shape!

Unfortunately, we couldn't have a good experience due to the poor state of the hotel. Minimal staff, closed restaurant & bar, unmaintained swimming pool, no Wi-Fi, bad quality of bath towels, small TV and terrible signal quality, water leakage at the kitchen's sink (good water pressure), but not enough water pressure to shower. The hotel is totally outdated, and the lack of maintenance is evident.

We booked a Junior suite for a weekday. We arrived and there was no one at the property, no one was at the lobby/reception. The security guard was the only person there. Swimming pool had no water, really the place was not as described. We checked out immediately and went to another hotel close by. Expedia did a great job helping me. They call the hotel but obviously no one will answer then the agent helped to arrange the refund and also gave me member rewards to compensate the bad experience. Thank you.

Very misleading

Not as advertised. No customer service. Not a resort at all with misleading amenities! Booked 3 nights and left after first night. Our front door had only one very loose handle with chipped wood around where it had been jimmied. Broken chair in room and no jaccuzi.
