Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The VVIP rooms are okay, especially for short stays.Its a new sort of mini resort so improvements are being done here and there. Clean bedsheets & plenty of water available. Breakfast was well done too. The host. Mr. Omar, very considerate. It's absolute value for money for short stays or when you don't spend too much time in the room. The rooms are just adjacent to the Beach and the VVIP rooms literally face the beach. Would definitely go back.
Summary: Good stay.
