It could be a bit cleaner. We missed a musquito screen for the windows. With it, we could have slept with the windows open, hearing the sea. But apart from that it was a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Great sea view, quiet, spacious, friendly staff

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The place was quite, with a lovely garden and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The staff was kind and helpful and the location amazing, just a few steps from the beach an near everything. You could hear the sound of the waves at night.

A few power cuts but that can't be helped.

Great location, really close to the beach. Room was clean. We didn't have the a/c room but the ceiling fan was powerful. Akhil is very friendly and helpful. No kettle in the room but he gave us one. There were a few ants but harmless and my fault for leaving food in the bin. For the price and location good value for money. Thank you.

- cleanliness could definitely improve. had to move rooms twice due to an unclean bathroom and stained bedding. but staff were quick to sort out the problems.

- lots of potential - great location, helpful staff and nice outdoor areas. - upstairs rooms are definitely nicer than downstairs ones !

The location and staff

The pillows where a little flat but we're nitpicking.

The staff where lovely, room was really well presented and spotlessly clean. It was also good value for money.

Absolutely not safe!! Window from the terrace to the room is missing a handle, hence your room will be accessible to anyone who climbs or goes up the terrace. Also no CCTV on that floor. No vault in the room either just a cabinet with joke of a lock. The place is dirty - other people’s hair in the middle of light coloured bedroom floor? Baseboards covered in dirt and dust, mildew marks on the walls etc. The place is so dated and not maintained, shows no signs of care and hence respect to the guests: no hot water even after waiting very long, almost no pressure in the shower, bidet shower leaks so badly that it’s not usable, windows you can’t lock as mentioned above, toilet that can’t flash your no.2, so prepare to fill a bucket and flash manually… even the pedal of the bin in the kitchen is broken🤣 Well and wifi… barely moves🤷 Paying 4200 for this hole is a joke, perhaps if you can get the room for a 1000, then you can say that at leit was cheap. Btw the piece cloth on the large bed that belongs to a single bed, at least that could be replaced for a double bed version if anything.

The view from the terrace on the beach and light house is great as well as the hotel location is great. Akhil is a pleasant receptionist. Bed comfortable. There are literally no more positives.

All was good.

Room very comfortable with outside seating area to relax. Very near the beach, great location. The owner arranged a taxi pick-up from the airport at 3 a.m.. Akhil was at the property to welcome me and was so helpful throughout my stay.
