Navio Hotel
Conveniently located with several nice restaurants nearby. Staff were super despite language difficulties(our fault). Spotless room with mini-fridge. No in-room coffee service; low on hot water. Otherwise fine!

Hotel DSH
The place SUCKS unless you like people in front of your room drinking and hanging out every night until 4 AM. Also, you have to listen to dogs barking all night in the room next door (probably because there are people hanging out in front of your door all night and day drinking).

Hotel staff claimed they did not have our booking or payment (of course the booking was fully paid). After few minutes they found it and said that they did not recieved any notification and they are fully booked on that day. It was late at night, we had to find another hotel in the area ourselves. ...

Great clean room. Check in staff very friendly and courteous. Bell boy brought luggage to room. Room service was great and chocolate covered strawberries with bowl of assorted nuts was just perfect. Breakfast was included and was out of this world with variety and quality!!! This is my second time ...
