I had a nice stay at this resort, which offered clean and spacious rooms equipped with strong showers and effective air-conditioning. The atmosphere was generally quiet and comfortable, although the service could use some improvement with key return procedures. It was also convenient for exploring the area, but the faded paint on the exterior could be a bit off-putting for some. Overall, I found the resort offered good value for money.

My stay was quite a mixed bag. While the rooms were generally clean and well-furnished, the heavy smell of cleaning products made them a bit uncomfortable at times. The service from the bar staff was a highlight – so friendly and welcoming, I found myself enjoying my evening drinks there every night. However, a poorly lit sign made it a bit tricky to locate the motel, even though it’s a decent base for exploring the area.
