A small hotel with 8 rooms and 14 villas. It was less than half full for all of our 16 night stay, sometimes emptier. Occupied rooms ranged from 2 up to 6, par for the course in Low Season. However, there were no shortcuts taken by the hotel. The hotel is tidy, clean but could do with updating. Ongoing maintenance was in evidence throughout our stay, but never intrusive. A few little gripes. Your room actually has a physical key, not a smart card, so you have to take it out with you. Reception is still open when we were going out in the evening, but closed on our return with the Night Security Guard in his hut. The safe is operated with a combination of a bent paper clip, a key and a code. It did the job, though. The room had limited storage space. Which meant I had no storage space. There were no drawers, apart from “false drawers”, shelving was next to the safe. The missus complained that the “drop” in the wardrobe was far too short for her dresses. Onto the good stuff. And there was lots. We arrived late morning after leaving home 25 hours earlier, but 3 hours before check in. After a cold drink on arrival, we were ushered straight to our room. Less than 25 yards away. The missus asked for the loan of an iron and ironing board at some stage. The Manageress brought them within 3 minutes and left them in our room for the duration of our stay. The bathroom was large, as was the shower cubicle. The shower was powerful with a handy shelf for our toiletries alongside the hotel’s. The bed was enormous, hard and comfortable. The AirCon was very effective and very welcoming as the outside temperature hit 37 degrees for almost half of our stay. The pool was less than 30 steps away and very large. Especially when there was only us there. Which was pretty much the case for all of our stay. Breakfast was good but basic. Everything was there than you could want. The staff pulled out all the stops, even when there was only us and a family of 4 staying, which was the case for about 5 days. In fact it was a surprise when there were new faces at Breakfast. The location couldn’t be better. The main road is 30 yards out the gate, the centre of Lamai. Opposite is a 7/11, 30 yards to the right is Cocktails by Pik and 30 yards to the left over the road is the Bondi Bar. Because of so few guests, we became like a small intimate family. The staff were really friendly, from the Manageress thru to the Breakfast Girl, the Egg Chef, the cleaners, the Maintenance Guys all the way to the Night Security Guard. The beach is only a few hundred yards away but we’re more Pool People now. Especially when we’ve got it to ourselves. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. We absolutely loved our time there.
