Great place with chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. Only drawback is the walls which doesn't muffle any noise at all. Not for the light sleeper. Otherwise a great location and a decent price.

The hotel is actually nice, it has a good vibe and lies right on the beach. However, the stuff tried hard to be helpful but they couldn't speak English well which was hard if you needed something. I never knew if the hotel had wifi or not due to communication issues. I never saw a proper front desk or a clerk in charge of everything, which was also a bit annoying. And lastly, I don't know if it was because of the low season, but there was no a good atmosphere there.

There were bedbugs on the bed. The room they gave us smelt mildewy. The restaurant food is avoidable and there were lot of construction noises that kept us up till 3 am every night.

Wonderful beach and staff
The staff and location are both excellent. Straight out of the room onto the beach and breakfast watching the waves! The manager was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for him or the staff. He is in the process of doing a room refurbishment and once this is done it will be a great place to stay. The refurbished rooms were great. Our main issue was the noise of the night club, which the owner is trying to address with the local hotel but this is out of his control at the moment, just bring ear plugs! I loved the beach and would return as the manager is receptive to advice and is trying to address any suggestions, in a really positive way. Thank you for a great 3 days and we hope to see you again in the future.

Not great
I didn’t like my stay here. The staff were excellent and the wi fi was decent but the toilet leaked, mosquito net had holes, hear rodents at night and the room wasn’t 3 stars, especially the bathroom. This is a 2 star hotel max.

Feb. - March stay
Has been a great time for our family, Hotel is right on the beach, which is beautifull. Hotel kitchen is just perfect, with a helpful staff, lovely attitude and perfect fresh juices. Rooms are simple but clean, our son was over the moon with animals living near by :-) the area is very close to shopping area and has a perfect location for trips.

Brilliant spot!
We stayed for 2 nights at Full Moon with our 2 children. We had a lovely double storey room and it was a great set up for us. The rooms and bathroom are quite old and could do with some work - but for this price in this location - you cant beat it!!! Wifi is poor, but you're on the beach - switch off for a few days and enjoy! Breakfast is simple, but all you need: eggs, bacon and toast with coffee. Great fruit juice too! I would highly recommend Full Moon to other families/couples/singles.

Well worth it
We had a great stay.our room was a few steps from the beach. Not many facilities but for the price well worth it. Many restaurants and bars close by and the beach was clean and perfect. But there is a loud disco next door every Friday night that management are trying To stop. Book here if you don't require luxury but like convienince

Good hotel- right on beach, rooms ok
Our check in was great- very nice people.Lovely breakfast as well. Our room was close to the street which made it a bit loud- I would try and request one away from the street. Also, the bathroom isn't sealed off so mosquitos get in. In general, the rooms could use some minor repairs.(bathroom door didn't close for example)

A night in a nightclub
The location is great, few meters from your door and you get the beach. However it's a bit of a show off and we got easily attracted by that. The room was mediocre and humid, bathroom was really small, and bed sheets had holes (at least cleaned). We were here for a good time, so you'll pass over that and enjoy the beach. At night to our surprise, there was just outside our window, the bar next door having very loud music until 3am and drunk people roaming around, far to be relaxing if that's what you are looking for. So overall I'd rather spend a bit more for decent place, quiet and farther from beach if need be.

On the beach
Fantastic location with friendly, lovely and helpful staff :) stayed for a full week and was the perfect beach relaxing holiday There are rows of lovely restaurant on the beach should you wish something different as well as a busy bustling street right behind the hotel with lovely little shops and where you can easily get a tuk tuk and go on adventures.. Overall really lovely place to relax

Если Вы не чистоплюй, а романтик, который не боится легких неудобств ради пребывания в самом лучшем месте этой замечательной страны, где самый лучший пляж и самый лучший кусочек океана - то как говорится вперед и с песней!
