Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and dated rooms that were very clean but overpriced for the quality offered. The service was friendly and helpful overall but had incidents of incorrect charges. The location was beautiful and well-maintained, but there were issues with items washed ashore and surrounding areas. The dining experience was mediocre and slow at times. Overall, it was an average stay with some drawbacks.
I was very excited about the Nepa hut for drinks and the comfort of the room, but it turned out to be a total disappointment as the room smelled musty. However, the super friendly service and the assistance from the staff at periscopes were top-notch.
