We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The junior suites were small but functional, with a beautiful newly renovated section. The breakfast buffet, especially on Saturday, was excellent with a wide variety of options and even champagne. The staff were super helpful and always had a smile on their faces. The hotel had the best pool with stunning sunset views. Its location was very convenient, being close to local shopping and tourist spots.
No negatives from this place.

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is unbeatable, right on the sea with a beautiful sunset view. The poolside area was perfect for sipping a drink and enjoying the scenery. I also loved being able to take a leisurely stroll on the nearby green after dinner. The hotel was excellent value for money, especially compared to other similar establishments. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed waking up to the sound of the sea. Additionally, the hotel had a fantastic restaurant called King of Mambo that provided a fun atmosphere in the evenings.
Not one thing.

In the kings premier suite, which was magical, we enjoyed a pounding sea outside our room. The room itself was wonderfully comfortable and had everything we wanted from a great hotel. We were impressed by the style and respect for the colonial history of the hotel. The location right at the seaside allowed us to witness the beauty of the ocean.
Nothing, all excellent.
