The Bar at the club serves delightful sips of your favourite drink as you dance the night away. Cabaret shows are on the menu several times a week as well as Karaoke.

Our opinion

Although this hotel has lots of potential and is open for business, it still remains unfinished, and still has a long way to go before it is fully functional.
The pool / beach bar is a lovely place to go and relax during the day, however due to very few guests staying here you may be all alone. The hotel boasts a fantastic beach that you can swim in almost all day unfortunately there is no choice of water sports or beach activities for guests to enjoy.
We only recommend that guests stay here if they are not seeking luxury and are easy going with meal plans. Although there is a menu guests are free to choose from, guests should be prepared to expect the unexpected, even though the staff are trying their very best.
If a quick and quiet budget holiday is what you are looking for, and you are prepared to turn a blind eye to the various teething problems and unfinished works this hotel are dealing with, then maybe stay here.
