Great hotel, great location. Quiet harbors, peaceful atmosphere. For a relaxing holiday, this is exactly what you need. There is a local on the beach on the left, his name is Vasante, he does excellent excursions and helps around the place (to take to the store or bring something from the store, etc.) You can trust him, I checked for myself :) The rooms are nice, the staff is friendly, speaks English. The breakfasts are all the same. The prices in the hotel are a bit high, on the contrary there is a great cafe (you can't call it a restaurant, of course), Sepoint (sort of), inexpensive and very tasty. We will come here again.
The territory of the hotel is clean, well-groomed, barundukas run around, without interfering with people's lives in any way. The ocean is clean and warm. There is a beach where you can swim and there is a place with waves, and there is also a beach with turtles. The hotel itself is in the local style. But the bed is comfortable. The mosquitoes didn't bother me. There is plenty to choose from for breakfast, and fruits are always present.:papaya, bananas, passion fruit.
Rest in February 24. The overall score is still 4.5. The excellent location of the hotel is a small promontory between two bays. A large well-groomed territory, it is indeed looked after daily by a fairly large number of staff. The rooms are tired, but in one building we had repairs done. The staff is polite, many understand and try to speak Russian. However, it came down to the question of whether we need daily room cleaning. Breakfast is a buffet, monotonous, but in principle normal. You can diversify it with local dishes, but they don't look very presentable. If you stand facing the ocean, then the beach on the left (a large bay) is cleaner itself, but there is garbage in the water. The beach on the right (turtle beach) is less well maintained, but it seemed cleaner. According to the cafe - Dumi, it is cheaper, but they will torment (the owners / waiters / guides - all in one person) with offers to spend money on excursions / trips. The menu is meager, the food is average, the juices are great. On turtle beach, Mahi Mahi is a great cafe, no one offers anything except food. Delicious food, online menu.
Overall, a great place for a quiet holiday. One of the advantages is nearby (about an hour if on a toll highway) Mattala Airport, after a 7-hour flight from frosty and snowy Kazan, we got to the place very quickly
