It’s a lovely spot in a quieter/less built up area of the island. There are options for restaurants nearby (including The Rock restaurant, only a couple minutes walk down the beach) although not as many as some of the more developed areas. The hotel itself is lovely and clean. A nice breakfast is served right on your balcony which has amazing views of the water. No issues with the wi-fi. The staff were very welcoming. There is no A/C; we were a bit warm with the fan windows open but not unbearably so. I wish we had had an extra night or two to stay; would definitely come again!

Towel
It was okay and affordable ….i didn’t like the fact that if you wanted a new towel and was going to be charged for it …isn’t changing towels a part of hotel stay and cleaning? We had to reuse one towel from day 1 to the end of our stay. Also they charged me city taxes at the end of my stay which made me confused because I paid taxes online with my booking so why do I get charged taxes after my stay?

Notre séjour s’est très bien déroulé à Shanuo Beach. Cet hôtel est encore plus beau en vrai, la plage est vraiment à côté et le paysage est magnifique. L’équipe de Shanuo Beach est juste formidable, ils sont là aux petits soins et nous aide lorsqu’on a besoin d’aide. La chambre dans laquelle nous avons séjourné ma sœur et moi était nettoyée tous les matins. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux et nous sommes très satisfaites de la qualité de professionnalisme de cette équipe. Je tenais à remercier toute l’équipe et la manager de l’hôtel car en dehors de la beauté de l’hôtel, la gentillesse des employés, la propreté, le calme et les petits déjeuners délicieux ont rendu notre séjour très agréable.Tout était fabuleux. Nous reviendrons une prochaine fois.

Super schöne Anlage mit freundlichem Personal. Haben immer ein Lachen auf dem Gesicht. Leider sind und die Betten zu hart gewesen und man konnte fast nicht schlafen. Auch keine Fenster und somit fast keine Privatsphäre hat uns nicht so gestört.
