Itsy Hotels Red Lotus Heritage, Promenade Beach
Staff were fantastic making many local travel arrangement for us and advising where to eat and get local provisions. Location is great, in the hub but not too noisy. We were a party of 4, staying 3 nights and we would recomend this hotel highly for the price.

Casa Mel
The surrounding environment was very unhygienic. Drains choke up with mosquitoes breeding clearly seen. I thing the hotel management can take photos and report to relevant authority.
