I had a great experience at the hotel, enjoying its excellent location close to the beach and some fantastic restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although they had a couple of issues with noise and a strange smell. The staff was friendly and attentive, but I found the dining choices somewhat limited. Overall, it was a good value for money, though the Wi-Fi situation could really use some improvement.

The hotel offers a decent stay with direct access to Baga beach, making it a convenient spot for beach lovers. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained, and the pool area is enjoyable, although it closes at 6 PM. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, especially the breakfast options which were quite average. Given the price, it’s a solid choice, but I’d be careful with meal plans.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the property is beautifully set among trees, and there's a lot of security which makes you feel safe, my stay was marred by several issues. The service was decent, and the location is great being so close to the beach, but the room I first received was disappointing and the dining experience left a lot to be desired.

Rooms

The room had a damp smell and felt a bit tired, although it was appointed with a fridge and safe.

Unfortunately, there was a history of safety concerns, which made me nervous about leaving valuables there.
