Yes, it's bit shabby in places, but it's cheap, and the locals are allowed in. Contrary to some reviewers, this is NOT the best. It is also NOT however the worst, and I suspect these reviewers are just trying to redress the balance. Had I saved up for the holiday of a lifetime, and gone on a package deal, I... More

We found ourselves spending most of our time on the beach and only used the hotel as a place to sleep. The staff are very friendly, especially the bar... More

For instance, old water heaters and other rubbish decorate the gardens, severe lack of lightbulbs inside and out, rooms need redecorating and furniture was falling to pieces and the plumbing.......!! Much of the hotel menu wasn't available, service was slow although food was good when it... More
