Pila Beach

Great clean hotel. Friendly staff and swimming pool was one of the cleanest. Service was magnificent and rooma were nice. Good location too

Socrates, the staff manager, is the highlight of this hotel. He offered us a complimentary room upgrade and took the time to provide us useful tour information and advice about visiting the islands. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast was good, but perhaps not quite a four star level breakfast. The hotel owners might consider dropping the advertisement of the rooms having balconies as they are tiny, useful mostly for hanging clothes to dry and with a view toward other buildings where others are likewise hanging their clothes to dry. Our travel mates stayed in another room and were equally impressed with Socrates; they had no interest in having a balcony with a view and so it did not bother them. Some reviewers said that the rooms are not sound proofed and that road noise makes it hard to sleep. We heard nothing and slept soundly. The airport shuttle service was reasonably priced and professional. We stayed on floor 3 and our travel mates were on floor 4.

Wonderful staff! Friendly, helpful in every way. The area was wonderful as well. If you want to restaurants and cafés everything is within walking distance. For us, it was a pre-cruiseovernight stay. It really turned out to be so pleasurable and I would do it again.
