The hotel has a prime location just steps away from the beach, which is its only redeeming quality. Unfortunately, the rooms were poorly maintained and cleanliness was far below acceptable standards. I experienced numerous issues, including a lack of hot water and a huge problem with insects. The breakfast options were insufficient and overall the service staff were rude and unhelpful. It feels like a budget hotel that is not worth the price.

I had a rough experience at this hotel. While the location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach, the room conditions were quite appalling. It was not clean, and there were visible issues with maintenance. The breakfast was lackluster and insufficient. Overall, it's not a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable stay.

My experience was quite mixed at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, right on Lighthouse Beach, the room I initially got had a sea view only from a corner and needed much better maintenance. The dining options were not impressive at all, and I found the food to be quite overpriced for the quality. Overall, I would say if you prioritize location and decent rooms, this could work for you, but don’t expect great dining or service.

The room I stayed in was nicely decorated and clean, but the dining options were just average and a bit on the pricey side.

The resort has an unbeatable location right on the gorgeous Light House beach, perfect for relaxing by the water. While the view was beautiful from our room, the room itself lacked cleanliness and proper maintenance, which was disappointing. The service was inconsistent; it took multiple reminders for basic requests. Although the spa seemed to be popular, I found the food options unremarkable and a bit pricey. Overall, it was a mixed experience with both highlights and drawbacks.
