"I unfortunately landed during the storm so the hotel was flooded and the room too in the end but I was able to be moved to a floor up. Following this my stay was very pleasant. Staff were very helpful. Food was good and very good location to beach and shops. They cleared the water quickly and fixed the hotel up in no time. I think I was quite unlucky to land on that day but they deffo made up for it during the stay. Rooms are a bit dated but that gave it character."
