Worth the 18 us I spent on it.
The bathroom was kind of dirty when we got there, but besides that it was a fun stay right on the beach. The hotel is a bit old looking.

Nice stay
We mainly came for the swimming pool, which was very nice. They did not have enough sun beds for everyone, which was a bit annoying. The hotel is in a very calm and quiet location, ideal to relax.

Abgewohntes Hotel mit direkter Strandlage
Hotel ist In die Jahre gekommen. Wartungsstau in allen Bereichen. Alle Sonnenliegen sind kaputt. Auflagen dreckig und abgenutzt. Essen ist sehr gut. Besonders der Chef Salat. Gegen eine Gebühr wird der am Strand gekaufte Fisch zubereitet. Personal ist freundlich und nett.

Jag och min flickvän var där i hela 17 nätter och är överlag väldigt nöjd. Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal, nära havet med ok strand. Poolområdet var fint men det fanns dåligt med solstolar, många var trasiga. Maten var kanon, ordentligt lagad och finns en hel del att välja på. Rummen städades inte jätte ofta, och inte heller super bra. Ingen alkohol säljs på hotellet, men fanns beershop 5 minuter bort, vill man ha andra drycker kan man enkelt ta en cykeltur eller "tukktukk" till maravilla. Vi är överlag väldigt nöjda med resan, hotellet ligget dock långt ifrån de större sevärdheterna så det blir långa turer ifall man skulle vara intresserad av det.

Tolle Lage des Hotels
Liegt direkt am Meer, jedes Zimmer hat einen tollen Blick. Das Personal familiär freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit, der Pool schön sauber, direkt davor ein wunderbarer Sandstrand, Baden im Meer kein Problem. Marawila ist kein typischer Touristenort, die Auswahl an Restaurants nicht groß. Dafür bietet das Hotel leckeres Frühstück und eine landestypische Speisekarte. Sehr angenehmer und erholsamer Aufenthalt.

Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal
Bra mellanklasshotell med utmärkt swimmingpool. Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bra frukost. Vi blev mycket väl omhändertagna. Stranden framför hotellet har spolats bort pga erosion men hotellet bjöd på skjuts till närbelägen strand. Mycket avkopplande vistelse. Finns inte så mycket att se på eller göra i omgivningen, så välj detta hotell om du vill ha det lugnt och avkopplande.
