THE ROOM: The first room we were given had extremely strong paint fumes. We ended up with severe headaches after only being in the room for a few minutes so we requested for a different room. The second room didn't have the paint fumes, but after using the room for a day, there was a horrible stench coming from the bathroom pipes which made us want to vomit. This room is located in the back, so the wifi was nearly non-existent, and the view out of the room was towards the slums. The room itself seemed outdated, and looks much worse than what you see in the pictures online.
LOCATION: Conveniently on the beach, but is surrounded by an overwhelming amount of solicitors, trying to sell you their adventure packages and various gadgets. We were even harassed by local children who tried to force us to give them cash for taking pictures of the beach.
STAFF: Friendly and responsive, very helpful with carrying luggage through the dirt alleys and the sandy areas. The only complaint I have is that when we asked about shuttle service to the airport upon check-in, they didn't tell us we needed to book 24-hours ahead of departure time. They only said, "Yes, we provide shuttle service to the airport." The night we needed to leave for the airport at 3am was when they said, "Sorry, you needed to book the shuttle service 24-hours ahead of time." For something as critical as that, they should have mentioned the details when we first asked about it.
FOOD: 2.5 stars out of 5
