What the reviews say
Two women flag the same thing independently: stuffy noses and respiratory irritation that cleared up the moment they stepped outside, pointing to heavy cleaning chemicals and no window screens. Hot water and clean rooms, but worth knowing before you book.
- The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the staff are accommodating.
- One reviewer noted the location works well as a stopover before an early port departure the next day.
- A reviewer who stayed 15 days found it peaceful enough for an extended trip.
- Two reviewers independently noted stuffiness or strong cleaning chemicals in the rooms, with one finding symptoms cleared up after going outside.
- One reviewer pointed out that no soap is provided in the rooms, and windows have no screens, making ventilation without mosquitoes difficult.
- Air quality issues indoors, one describing dampness and stuffiness, another citing heavy use of cleaning chemicals.
- No soap is supplied in the rooms, so bringing your own is advisable.
- Hot showers are available and bedding was described as decent, but beds were noted as small by one reviewer.
- The location is not convenient coming from the airport but is well placed for guests catching an early ferry from the port.
- Windows have no screens, so opening them for fresh air lets mosquitoes in.
