DK Eyewitness
"Close to all the action in Lamai, but far enough to be quiet and still directly on the beach, this recently renovated hotel is quite clean and comfortable."
Rough Guide
"Welcoming, well-placed hotel with a seductive beachfront swimming pool and a good restaurant."
Lonely Planet
"The pool area feels a bit retro, with its swatch book of beige- and blue-toned tiles, but in the back there are modern motel rooms and bungalows that have fresh coats of white paint."
