We stayed for two nights and were impressed be the staff, location (short distance from the airport, right on the beach) food and both our rooms overlooked the gorgeous beach. The rooms were clean and had insect repellant. Airconditioning was available. Bathrooms were fairly basic but then again it is a two star and it was quite adequate. Great food... More

We stayed there for two weeks in the beginning of January. We had booked the hotel thru booking agency in advance. We had a nice, small but cozy room in 2nd floor. The room was cleaned properly every day and Wi-Fi an A/C worked well all the time. Staff was very nice anWe had booked breakfast and dinner buffets in... More

I was hoping to stay at a guest hous but all the ones I looked at were booked so stayed at Sunset Beach for two nights. There is a nice restaurant, bar, pool and seating area all on the beach. The staff are very nice. My room unfortunatly was what I would expect of a cheap guest house. Air con... More

Avoid this place. They were overbooked, and didn't have a room for my pre-paid reservation. Instead, they put me in a house next door. The room itself was dirty, had no towels and there was no AC. When we complained, the owner of the house and the hotel manager got into a fight and actually concerned for my safety. Others... More

The room was ok. I had to keep the shades closed as I was on the ground floor and the pool was directly outside my room. The bathroom was not particularly clean or nice. The shower did not drain very well so I was standing in my own shower water. Also, the kitchen was across the hall from my room... More

We booked this hotel, even though it was out of of price range, because they said we could check out at 6pm the following day as our flight was a late one. Then just before 1pm the manager visited us demanding we left within half an hour. We explained what his staff had told us and he got angry and... More

You don’t get much but a basic room here. No TV, no tea pot, only a small closet. However, the room was clean and the aircon and overhead fan worked. There is free wi-fi. There is a nice pool and beach and plenty of lounge chairs if you want to lay in the sun. We did the Saturday night barbeque... More

The hotel is located right on the beach in a great location but thats where it ends. The hotel is tired and dirty. The rooms are shabby and the bathrooms a health hazard. There is a mediocre restaurant located on the beach. The hotel is mosquito infested. More

Maybe I was lucky. I just turned up and got a beach-front room (108) on the ground floor with double doors which opened onto a small terrace and the beach. I stayed for two nights in January 2012. The room had a good AC unit and was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and new and the shower was... More

Stay away. Big gap between the website photos and reality. It's a good value only if you're paying under 50 USD and it's a brief stopover. They promised 75 but tried to raise the price once I got there. No hot water! And filthy! Needless to say, I moved out the very next morning. Luckily, The Icebear was next door. More
