Although the place was very old, certain facilities like the swimming pool is still in good condition and there are free.parking facilities available. It is also near to the beach with little crowd. Downside is it is far from town, so need to grab or drive to nearby attractions. The hotel cafe and convenient store is also not very good with limited things to buy and eat."
