missingWrote a review on 10 Decamazing viewslacking night staff
The views from the King Room with Lake View were amazing.
Unfortunately, the hotel lacked sufficient staffing during the night, leading to a frightening experience during a power outage when we couldn't secure our rooms.

missingWrote a review on 26 Novcomfortable bedamazing viewsnoisy environment
The location here is unbeatable. The room had a comfortable king-sized bed with great views of the lagoon. I loved how the staff prepared an early check-in for my partner, who needed to rest after feeling unwell. The breakfast was simple but enjoyable, with quality yogurt and granola. On the other hand, the hotel had several downsides. Our room was basic and a bit run down. It lacked proper amenities like lamps and sufficient toiletries. When it rained, water leaked into our room was good. The noise from the nearby beach club was a nuisance, and we didn't appreciate the music blaring until late at night. The hotel has potential, but improvements in maintenance and quiet hours would enhance the experience.

The lagoon views from the balcony were fine.
First, the room lacked adequate lighting, with only one lamp that was harsh and bright. The breakfast was not only late to start, but it was also limited to basic options and charged extra for anything additional. The noise isolation was inadequate.

The vibrant decor, complemented by the fine lagoon views that could be enjoyed from the deck area. Kayaking was a fantastic perk. The noise from nearby establishments made it difficult to fully relax, and the limited drink service hours were a bit inconvenient. While the setting is beautiful, the restaurant could have offered more varied menu options for those staying longer.

great location but needs maintenance
The lagoon view from the balcony was amazing. I loved the simple yet high-quality breakfast, especially the yogurt and granola, a refreshing start to the day. The staff was friendly and accommodating, great to use the outdoor showers after check-out.
The room lacked sufficient lighting, difficult to read or enjoy the space during the evening.

The lagoon views from the balcony were stunning, and the vibrant decor really elevated the atmosphere. The staff were friendly, though the absence of hot water and privacy issues in the A-frame rooms dampened the experience a bit.

This waterfront accommodation offers fantastic scenery, as it sits directly on the lagoon and even offers private terraces outside some of the rooms. the breakfast served is delicious and the staff are friendly, while kayaks and paddle board rental is available at the hotel for those interested in exploring the lagoon. the restaurants near the hotel guarantee an abundance of culinary options.
The Wi-Fi signal can be weak at times, which could be a problem for those who cannot disconnect from technology.

The property had a stunning setting on the waterfront, with a perfect location near the downtown area. The stylishly decorated rooms were comfortable and had efficient air conditioning. The continental breakfast was delicious and filling.
The wifi signal was unreliable and weak. Some of the staff seemed uninformed and gave inconsistent information.

The wooden deck and structures added a unique touch to the experience. The room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, with a private terrace outside. The location was perfect, close to downtown and with amazing sunrises. The staff were pleasant and the breakfast, although continental, was enjoyable. the SUP tour provided by the hotel was fantastic, with friendly guides and a fair price. I highly recommend this hotel.

Right on the lagoon, amazing SUP rental, and friendly staff made for a nice stay. The hotel was impeccably clean and had excellent facilities. Transportation was convenient, and there was ample parking. The hotel's location on the lagoon made it a great place to relax and unwind while being close to the city's pizzerias and other amenities. The lovely breakfast spread each morning was a definite plus!
Can't think of anything.
