I booked on short notice and was very happy about my choice. I had a heartly welcome and the staff was super friendly and helpfull with every request I had. Very nice room and balkony with ocean view. They even bring breakfast directly to your balcony in the moning as soon as you get uo and sit outside. Highly recommended. The only negative thing I recogniced was the amount of plastic trash along the entire beach as well as on the Island in general. This of course has nothing to do with the hotel, and they actually try to incentivice people to leave no trash at the beach and even offer free beers for people who collect trash and bring it back to the hotel for proper disposal.

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!

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 sĂ©jour s’est trĂšs bien dĂ©roulĂ© Ă  Shanuo Beach. Cet hĂŽtel est encore plus beau en vrai, la plage est vraiment Ă  cĂŽtĂ© et le paysage est magnifique. L’équipe de Shanuo Beach est juste formidable, ils sont lĂ  aux petits soins et nous aide lorsqu’on a besoin d’aide. La chambre dans laquelle nous avons sĂ©journĂ© ma sƓur et moi Ă©tait nettoyĂ©e tous les matins. Le petit dĂ©jeuner Ă©tait dĂ©licieux et nous sommes trĂšs satisfaites de la qualitĂ© de professionnalisme de cette Ă©quipe. Je tenais Ă  remercier toute l’équipe et la manager de l’hĂŽtel car en dehors de la beautĂ© de l’hĂŽtel, la gentillesse des employĂ©s, la propretĂ©, le calme et les petits dĂ©jeuners dĂ©licieux ont rendu notre sĂ©jour trĂšs agrĂ©able.Tout Ă©tait 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 PrivatsphÀre hat uns nicht so gestört.
