I found this hotel to be a nice, basic option with incredibly friendly staff. The location is the biggest draw, right on a nice beach where you can snorkel easily. However, the hotel is quite dated and could use some updates, especially considering the frequent power cuts and limited Wi-Fi. While the meals were decent, they could have been improved in variety and warmth, and the pool area needed a bit more attention.
