VVolodya V.We stayed at the hotel in mid-May, it is not the season, there were few guests at the hotel. The hotel provides a free transfer from and to the ferry. It is not long to get to the hotel, just cross the island. The hotel is located on a steep cliff, at the top there are several buildings, and bungalows on the slope, in several tiers. The climb is quite steep, you do not go to your room from the beach - all movement is along endless stairs. Even lower there is a public road along the sea, along which sometimes a lonely motorcycle passes, behind it, hanging over the sea, is the hotel pool, from which there is a path to the site with an entrance to the sea. However, during our stay this site was not working, on the path to it there was a blockage: there was construction work there, they were also carried out by the pool. The bar by the pool was closed, water was pouring from the shower, but there was no shower head, but the toilet was functioning! If you walk 300 m along the road to the right and go down to the sea - there will be a small bay where you can sunbathe and swim. Right from the shore there is a large coral reef, so the bay serves as a starting point for snorkeling. The room is clean, quite old in furniture and design, but the TV is new, air conditioning and refrigerator work well. The bathroom is not very big, the plumbing has already outlived its usefulness, and there is very little light. The room itself is a good size and an even larger loggia with a couple of chairs, which together with the panoramic windows creates the feeling of a very spacious room. The view from the loggia to the sea is simply fantastic, because you are at a great height! And we got a corner room, the view opened in two directions! Of the disadvantages: a resort hotel, but they forgot about drying towels and clothes. You have to dry things on chairs. An attempt to hang shorts to dry on the railing ended with them being searched for the next morning in the thickets of bushes under the hotel. A hotel employee helped, a plus in the column about the staff's work. There is no general Wi-Fi network and you need to register in each zone: if you are near the router, everything works fine, but there are a lot of dead zones. Our room was like this, we had mobile internet, but the big new TV didn't work, because it received a signal via Wi-Fi, or rather, it didn't receive it. Of course, the staff couldn't solve the problem with the non-working TV. The hotel restaurant is very nice, with all-round glazing and a gorgeous view on three sides. The food was worse, a minimal buffet plus eggs in different variations to order. On the first day in the morning there were a little more people than usual, apparently a small group of German tourists was leaving, there was some chopped mango on the buffet, which ran out with them. We asked when they would bring more, and received the answer that there would be no more mango. We had an emotional conversation with the hostess in the restaurant: mango was suddenly found... During the other two breakfasts it didn't appear at all: apparently, during our first breakfast, supplies for several days were finished. The pancakes were undercooked, the coffee and tea were from a barrel, you just can't drink them! Hot dishes are minimal and they don't bring new ones. We had dinner at the restaurant of the neighboring hotel (View Point Resort), it is located on the seashore, to the left along the road. The restaurant has quite reasonable prices, restaurant quality and service, works for everyone, is marked on Google maps (The Cape). On the same road, 200 m away, there is a small family store where you can buy water, beer, chips, etc. Prices are like in a local 7-Eleven, and in a local 7-Eleven they are a third higher than on the mainland. If you go this way during the day, then after passing through the hotel you will go to the shore and moving to the left along the beach, stones, and through the Happy Monk bar, and then along the footbridge towards solid land, you will find yourself in a local village around a fairly large bay with hotels and diving centers. There are several ATMs, a real 7-Eleven and many small local restaurants. This path can only be done during the day, but not at night. Overall the hotel left a good impression, the sea view makes up for many of the shortcomings and we would stay there again.
