The Gabayan Riviera

Hotel is clean and new but lacks atmosphere. Nice peaceful setting and in a great location to get to the waterfall and if you dive with Bahura Dive (highly recommend). You definitely need to rent a bike (and have a drivers license to do so) if you stay here

Awesome place to relax.

The place is located high above the shore line with a nice view of the sea. The front desk personnel are very friendly and helpful at any request. Rooms are nice and clean. It was though a surprize that a “4” star hotel couldn’t deliver hot water - prepare for cold showers! It also came as a surprice that the towles all were individual types/design like they were bought at a 2nd hand store and old. Our appartment had a leaking roof so during rainfall our roof covered terrasse was flooded with water. The pool need attention since the water was so unclear that you couldn’t see clearly through 20 cm of it. The pool area is not maintained, sunbeds are few and partly broken and not enough shade. The hotel is situated at the waterfront and NOT at the beach front. To me a beach is a sandy area enougt to lay down at - at this place there is just enough for your feet to stand on, the rest is rocks. The restaurant is nicely located with a view upon the sea. What you get in the view you miss in the service, the availabilty of whats on the menu card and the wild dogs that stick to your chair. We did not manage to get the orders that we made either because they were run out of food, coffee or bottled water. English language skills vary significantly dependent on who is on duty. First night at the restaurant we encounter animal feces on the floor at one of the tables. All in all I was disappointed and reminded that pictures and the establishements own description can be misleading - this is NOT a 4 star hotel at any standard.
