The staff are really lovely and helpful. The hotel was clean and the pool area and restaurant were fantastic. Short walk from a few really beautiful beaches and walking distance to many restaurants in Lassi. The hotel restaurant served excellent food and drinks and the view of the sea from the hotel is amazing. While the furniture in the room was dated, it had everything I needed and was large. I especially enjoyed having a sea view and my own seating area outside. I really enjoyed my stay and hope to return some day.
