Hotel Velvet Plaza
Great stay with clean amenities, I would recommend highly. Lost a star as it’s a bit odd after checking out you are no longer allowed to use the pool and other amenities. So if you have a later flight I’d look elsewhere!

Demetria Bungalows
Great location. Friendly staff. Some spoke English, others we used google translate. I was not a fan of the black wall paint. But I loved the living room and bedroom. Comfortable bed.
