352779 3 Location 491410 <p>This is where we stayed. </p><p>Yes it certainly is old and tired.</p><p>But the biggest plus point of this place is that its right on the most beautiful beach you will ever see on the island.</p><p>Hotel is fairly jaded &amp; if you are nostalgic for the seventies this would be a great place to stay as clearly little has changed . There is a board which claims it was inaugurated in 1974.There is nothing special with the room. It's equipped with basic amenities and an OK bathroom.</p><p>There was a lovely staff by the name of Shamal..who is kindness personified. She is actually the staff at the car hire counter. Her&nbsp;service made up for the rest of them.</p><p>Food was&nbsp;just&nbsp;okay.Actually we only had breakfast...A (poor) buffet breakfast is served in the exotically named restuarant called&nbsp;"Parrot". </p><p>Anyway, most people spend majority of their time outside sitting under palm trees at the beach, hiking around, and riding bikes. </p><p>Extreme relaxation!!</p> 2008-08-05T17:35:53-07:00 220200961 2008-08-02T17:00:00-07:00 0 18 136158 7474281 352779 0 226163 0.0623777799824109 2008-07-31T17:00:00-07:00 Published 10.0 2008-08-05T18:23:41-07:00 90249 0
