But not luxurious. Food is good, free breakfast, but rooms are small, without much other than a bed & bedside tables. No AC but ceiling fan was fine. Worst part by far is the open air disco next door, which blasted music through giant speakers several nights, until 3 in the am. Not great for a good nights sleep. ##### Dan Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Observación La llegada por la carretera # 10 fue algo difícil por lo solitario y falta de rótulos indicando el hotel en el trayecto de la carretera 10. Sería recomendable unos letreros indicando cómo llegar al hotel atreves de carretera 10 no solo al llegar a la propiedad. ##### Adrian Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar 20 Jul 2023 ##### Oscar Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jose 8 Jan 2023 ##### Jose Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### KYESIK 21 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### KYESIK Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roger 23 Jan 2022 Liked: Staff & service #### LOW KEY HOTEL STYLE low key place. not exactly as the photos represented ##### Roger Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 9 Jan 2022 Liked: Staff & service 👍 ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 7 Jan 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Do not stay here This is one of the worst accommodations I've ever stayed at. The staff didn't care that the bathroom and the linens dirty. There is no beach as it's been washed away (which is not their fault but don't advertise it has a private beach). The staff were so rude and didn't seem to care about the state of the room. There's no water water for showers and no free clean drinking water for guests. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Laura 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Una completa desilusión Estaba en un dormitorio y me tocó en la litera de arriba, que queda casi a ras del ventilador de techo, con lo cual, no recibe ningún tipo de ventilación. A las 3 de la mañana me desperté a causa del calor insoportable que había y me tocó agarrar la sabana para ir a buscar algún sitio donde recostarme a una temperatura soportable (acabé echada en una de las asoleadoras de la piscina) pues no se veía nadie por ahí que pudiera atudarme con el problema. Las puertas de los dormitorios compartidos tienen pestillo manual (no con llave sino de los de poner candado) por dentro y por fuera y la ventana no abre, así que cualquiera de tus compañeros te puede dejar encerrado o afuera sin percatarse (esto nos ocurrió dos veces en solo una tarde y, según uno de los compañeros, ocurre con frecuencia). No hay playa, supongo que en algún momento hubo, pero se la tragó el mar. Lo único bueno del sitio es el restaurante. La comida y los cocteles son espectaculares. ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ceylonz Suites by MyKey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels-Ceylonz-Suites-By-MyKey-Global.h56546649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel THB Los Molinos - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ibiza-Town-Hotels-Hotel-THB-Los-Molinos-Adults-Only.h1877251.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wilmington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmington-Hotels.d1587.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Watermill Inn & Brewing Co](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendal-Hotels-Watermill-Inn-Brewing-Co.h22960734.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barmouth-Hotels.d8117.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Royal Andilana Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nosy-Be-Hotels-Royal-Andilana-Resort-Spa.h91641482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cambrils](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambrils-Hotels.d181379.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Island House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nassau-Hotels-The-Island-House.h9483703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a View in Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Scotland-Hotel-With-A-View.0-0-d11219-thotelwithaview.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Mahabaleshwar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahabaleshwar-Hotels.d6126712.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Admiral's Inn and Gunpowder Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/English-Harbour-Hotels-Admirals-Inn-And-Gunpowder-Suites.h9394742.Hotel-Information) > > [ST.
