We would not recommend this hotel. The toilet smelled, the room was dark and damp (even in the dry season). Outside the hotel men 'bumsters' are waiting in numbers and we felt imprisoned to the complex. We had to ask three times to get a new pillow and once the maid left a dirty wet rag in one of our suitcases.
The hotel was basic but the staff and locals were lovely i would definately go back to the hotel. The service,food,amenities were all great. Its not ideal for very young children.
Friendly athmosphere,nice and very friendly staff,good food and good entertaining every night.The pool is nice and quiet,and the hotel is near to almost everything.And the rooms are cleaned every day!

It was always very nice and close to Bakau. It is not in a "tourist corner". The taxi´s were available in anytime. The Pool were every morning clean. Every day new towels. The staff smiled the whole day. The menue was wonderful for a good price. The seaside is great. A nice place to stay, if you don´t like 4 and 5 stars Hotels.

AM GOING BACK!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/19/05
For a single lady travelling alone and of a certain age, this was outstanding when I last visited. Perfect staff, location, everything. No hassle at all. Locals really welcoming. Only downside, I became confused about tipping because the Guides are not paid by the Hotel and apparently I over-tipped. Shall know next time I return, in January 2006!
