The resort has a lot of potential with its spacious rooms and clean surroundings, as well as the charm of friendly cats roaming around. However, the facilities are in need of repair, and there were issues with water supply during my stay. Overall, it's a mixed bag of comfort and maintenance challenges. If you're a cat lover, that's definitely a plus, but expect to deal with a few inconveniences.

My recent stay had some ups and downs. The hotel, while clean, showed signs of wear and needed repairs in many areas. The spacious layout was a plus, but the inconsistent air conditioning and water issues were frustrating. The friendly cats added a unique charm to my visit, and it's right across from the beach, which is great for walks. Overall, there's potential here, but improvements are needed for a more comfortable experience.

This resort has so much potential with its spacious layout and proximity to the beach, making it a lovely place for beach walks. However, there are several maintenance issues that need attention, like the broken bathtub and unreliable water supply. The breakfast was decent, and I appreciated the presence of friendly cats that brightened my stay. Although it was an adventure, the overall comfort was lacking.

The resort has some charming elements, particularly the spacious rooms and the clean pool area, which is a plus. However, it does show its age with some necessary repairs and maintenance issues. The breakfast was decent, but not much variety. I had challenges with water supply and air conditioning that detracted from the overall experience, though the friendly cats provided some joy during my stay.
