It is a very dated hotel with some facilities needs refurbishing.
Bathroom bathtub is not sparkly clean. There are traces of patches of white filler used to mend the cracked tub. The management should have done better job in mending the tub. Booked seaview kind room but wasnt abke to use the tub.
Kids slide area wasnt well maintained. Steps leading up to the slides has algae.
Breakfast serving was so so although selection is huge.

Rooms are clearly showing their age even if the property itself is pleasant with a beach resort vibe. There’s a shuttle bus to Jen hotel in town at 10 am and 2 pm. Prebooking is required. Takes about 45 mins or so.
