"Arrived at 11am and was told to wait until 3am to check in. The hotel wasn’t busy. I walked into town(25 minutes). On my return I spoke to another couple who said the same about check in. To get to room from entrance you need to get a lift to 14th floor where reception is then walk to opposite side of reception to get lift to your floor where room is. You can only then go to floors of pool, spa and restaurant so if with friends on another floor you can’t get to there floor. Pool was small with limited sun beds and very load with music. There were 5 staff at bar and yet no one came over to me and asked if I wanted anything. Breakfast was good with a variety of foods. Asked for fried eggs and it took 15 minutes. Room was smelly when you enter but you get used to it and don’t notice after 5 minutes. View over pool and ocean, large room. Toiletries were basic and had better in hostels. Water pressure not great. Staff were rude. Only nice polite staff was black pregnant lady on reception."

"Love the location, a busy street but beautifully central, yet very quiet inside. The small pool was a joy to cool down in, the rooftop breakfasts were delicious and the views superb - and we managed to sneak up to the very top roof for a quiet siesta alone at times! Very helpful staff and comfy beds."

"The lobby had a mildew odor, and was not air conditioned. the entire building was very dated. the rooms are Spartan, and there is 1 A/C vent in the room that is centrally controlled. I had to move the bed so the air from the lone vent would cool me. The breakfast was OK, nothing special. Service was slow, but polite."
