The most ideal place for relaxation as you are surrounded by nature and you have awesome staff to make your stay comfortable. We were given immediate alternative room as the Ac blew up. The manager Mr. Sourav was extremely helpful and saw to all the details to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. On the flip side, windows would be helpful to keep the room cool. Chef was excellent with his culinary arts. The property is endowed with beautiful beach and also a nice clean swimming pool. An ideal place to run away from busy city life!

First of all it’s nothing like the pictures they posted, the rooms were dirty AC wasn’t even working, the bed itself are broken I just laid on it and it broke not just that as soon as we entered they wanted us to pay 4$ per person which was already paid. The toilet lights wasn’t even bright so it was basically useless. I’d rather go to a 2 star hotel to be honest than this one.

NOT GOOD! Weather was hot and very humid and a/c units did NOT work. No glass windows only screens so couldn’t keep inside cool AT ALL. Sheets were stained in bed and wet from humidity. Ants in the bathroom on walls. Showers would not drain. Bats hung at night from the top of the grass roofs that cover your room and their waste would drop on top off your rooms roof which in turn made the rooms smell like urine terribly bad. Food was so-so. Bath towels smelled terrible. Electricity went out all the time. Wi-Fi was a hit and miss. Staff were nice and friendly. Location/beach was beautiful!

This is definitely not a 4☆ hotel for any standards. We booked through Check24 and it was 4☆ on the site. After the problems what we had overthere and we saw what we saw we searched for more info and on the same site Check24 we found the same hotel same pictures rating now with once 4☆ once 2☆.
We found out that the hotel was around 12 years old from the employers there, so probably the pictures on the site are from the first 2-3 years....now everything is not even 50% from the pictures on the site.
So, we had problem with the roof from the bathroom, leaking with water after one day of raining. We reported and it was ,,fixed,, . After the whole day and night of raining the next morning all of our things were under wather again and destroid.
We were moved to another room with explanation that the raining season starts. They need to know better that us that and fix the problems before or on time. The other room, no internet, no warm wather, no AC working and wet and dirthy sheets.
We lost almost the whole day with moving and waiting for the other room to be fixed. They said ,,this room was not used for a long time that is why the problems above "Than why are you moving us there...The hotel was half empty "...
Just to mention, we were on a honeymoon 🤗 from 14th till 27th of March.
What we wanted was peace and we had it because the place is small and quiet and the employers are very friendly and give their best.
We send complaint via email to the agency alredy.

A complete tourist trap!!!! I don’t recommend to anyone to stay here. The food is terrible, the house is impossible to keep clean. There are no windows so the air conditioning and the cleaning is only for show, in 5 minutes the sea breeze will fill the place with sand, ants everywhere and spiders hanging from corners and decorative walls (they don’t even have a vacuum cleaner). If it rains all your clothes, your bed sheets, towels will be wet and it’s impossible to dry them out. The people are apparently nice but their bad English and unprofessional attitude will bother after 1-2 days. (All of them will come to you during breakfast asking if you slept well - they don’t listen or care about your answer) but when you need a drink in the middle of the day they are nowhere to be found. You also have to beg them to take away empty bottles or dirty glasses from your bungalow. If you don’t ask for sealed bottled water they will try to trick you into drinking tap water from glass bottles. The manager says come to me with any problem, I got food poisoning the last days and when I told him, he said it was impossible because we all ate the same food. No concern, no “are you feeling good? Do you need medication”. Just to be clear, I ate the whole day at the hotel, I ordered tomato sauce spaghetti (no meat) because I thought there is no way to go wrong with it. Other guests witnessed that I got sick after dinner but to the manager it was impossible. The only good thing about this place is the landscape but don’t be fooled, after 2 days you will want to leave and won’t be allowed to (no money back, doesn’t matter that the conditions don’t fit what they sold you). The beach is also dirty and smells from algae and dead fish. When I arrived the pool was dirty too, they cleaned that the next day.
