And have booked again for next week.
Rooms are a bit sparse and tv reception isn't the greatest but overall I think its a great place for the money.
Large empty room fridge so you can stock up from mini mart without emptying the usual minibar.
In my opinion poppies 1 area is a great place to stay with good cheap food everywhere and easy access to most other places.
This hotel is a 2 star at best so don't expect any luxury.
The pool is 3m deep at both ends but they provide pool noodles so you can float around.
The deep pool actually keeps people from constantly hooning about in the water so it can be quite quiet most of the time.
The breakfast is quite good and cooked for you as you order.
The ground floor rooms around the pool are the best and have just gone up in price from 300-400,000 but the first floor rooms have stayed at 300,000.
This is a great hotel for Flash packers and holidaymakers on a bit of a budget.
What you save on the room price you also save on the food and shopping price as most things seem to be much cheaper in this area.
Don't think its for people having the occasional or one off holiday but if you managed to get one of the cheap flight it can work out quite an inexpensive holiday.
Would be fine for older teens as they would be out and about all the time but not sure if staff would put up with too much noise from younger teens?
You can book through asia rooms or direct by email, no deposit required but you may have to pay for half your stay up front when you arrive.
I love this place so does my wife but its possibly not luxurious enough for a lot of people.
Dont expect much and you will be pleasantly surprised!
