delicious food friendly staff cute staff high bed dim lights loud noise
i like the food in restaurant it was good. nushini, she was nice, she was very cute. i loved the catch of the day dorado, it tasted fresh you know. couches near the beach let you see view as you eat.
the room bed was very high off floor, and the room reminded me of it had two levels. this felt uncomfortable and i could have fell. room lights was dim you see and the paint look it too. i could hear folks chatting outside.

restaurant food affordable price friendly service poor breakfast insistent massage requests distant room
the restaurant offered nice food at affordable prices. zakaria took excellent care of us. maimuna offered us friendly service with a smile.
the breakfast wasn't very diverse or good. the persistent requests for massages from the two men who walked around the hotel were annoying. the room was far from the beach.
