The hotel offers an extended party atmosphere, especially on weekends due to the loud open-air disco that plays music until the early hours. While some activities might appeal to a younger crowd, it compromises the overall peace of the area. The dining options need serious improvement, and the casino experience was quite disappointing. In contrast, the presence of caged wild parrots adds a curious aspect to the experience, but it might not be everyone's taste.

My stay was quite disappointing due to the excessive noise from the nearby open air disco, which kept me up until after 3 a.m. While the proximity to the beach was a plus, the hotel facilities, including the restaurant and casino, left much to be desired. The service overall was quite poor, making it hard to enjoy my stay. I would recommend avoiding this place on weekends unless you're a night owl.

My stay was quite enjoyable, but there were some significant downsides. The location was fantastic, close to the beach, but the noise from the disco on weekends was unbearable. The rooms were decent, but the dining experience fell flat with awful pizza and service. Overall, if you're looking for peace and quiet, especially on weekends, this might not be the right choice.

My stay at this hotel was unfortunately marred by the constant disturbance from the nearby open air disco that played incredibly loud music until the early hours of the morning. While the location is decent, and I appreciated the novelty of the wild parrots onsite, I found the overall experience to be quite negative. The dining options were disappointing and the service left much to be desired. This hotel really needs to address these issues for a more enjoyable stay.

This hotel could be a fun spot for weekend entertainment, but the experience is really hampered by the loud music from the nearby disco, especially if you're looking for a peaceful stay. The food and service left much to be desired, making it hard to recommend it overall. The idea of having a casino is nice, but it felt like a letdown. Additionally, there are some wild parrots caged on the property that didn't sit well with me.
