The rooms are clean and modern and the resturant serves good quality food. The breakfast however lets it down. There was a limilted fruit selection the toaster was broken and the quality below average.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff was very helpful - walked me around the first day to ensure I got where I needed to go, made breakfast a little early for me so I could make it to diving on time, always smiled and greeted me. The room was very comfortable - clean, quiet, big. I really appreciated being just across the street from the main strip - it was a 2 minute walk away when I wanted it, but also a world away when I didn’t.

The best in ZNZ
Wonderful place. Absolutely great. Aomething unbelieveble for its price. There is no straight exit to the beach, but it wasn't real problem - 5 minutes walking. Service. It was the best in Znz (we were in 4 places). We love it. Really. 10/10. Thank you very much!

Struttura buona, ottima pulizia e colazione abbondante, ma spesso il climatizzatore in camera non funzionava perché la corrente elettrica è scarsa..
