Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel must urgently address and investigate reports of cash theft from rooms, as this creates serious security concerns and undermines guest trust in the staff and the safety of the hotel safes.
- —Service must become proactively attentive in all public areas, especially the pool, where guests reported never being approached for drinks and were often left to feel like they were inconveniencing staff.
- —Maintenance issues affecting comfort and health need immediate resolution, including fixing the pervasive smell of mold/dampness, ensuring functional hot water, and addressing delayed room readiness past the check-in time.

How we choose
Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
