Negative Reviews
negative:
No Wi-Fi connection inside the rooms
Guests were disappointed with the slow and unstable Wi-Fi on-site. There were only some areas where guests could actually connect to the Internet such as the deck, balcony, and other communal areas except inside the rooms.
negative:
Disturbing level of noise
There were plenty of noises coming from different areas of the property which was very disturbing for most guests. Since it was closely situated to the beach, most weekends were quite noisy so guests had a hard time getting some decent sleep. Guests are advised to wear earplugs for convenience.
negative:
Poorly-maintained beddings
Previous guests disliked the poor quality of the sheets and bedding which was not worth the price they paid. Overall, the bed sheets and linens were quite old, poorly maintained, and had to be replaced.
