Nice enough hotel but super outdated. The beach area used to be nice but is really rundown these days. Close proximity to the mall and beach.

The standard of the hotel has dropped significantly. The curtains did not close properly. There some tv channels that were not playing. The bed side lamps were not working. All of the above were reported, but nothing was done. Lastly, at the dinning hall during breakfast you are made to wait because it is full and yet there's a space where they could prepare for more guests. The experience there was 3/10.
