Comfortable, friendly and value for money. My only issue was that there was no currency exchange and I had to walk 5-10 minutes into town to a Western Union before I could get a taxi anywhere.

When we arrived the curtain was hangin off the hooks the air con was leaking water, asked to get it fixed maintenance came opened it wiped away the condensation and said if it continues to leak ask to be moved to another room. It continued to leak we used a towel to soak it up so we didnt slip. We only stayed 4 nights couldnt be bothered reporting it again. Good free breakfast and a pleasant stay. Suggestion check the room before guests arrive and check in.

Close to town, on-site restaurant and bar, large pool, lots of parking. Unfortunately, in one of our rooms the air con smelt musty while showers leak from gaps in glass shower doors. If management fixed those small issues, we would consider staying there again.

Mixed Experience: Some Good, Some Not So

Overall I enjoyed my 4 night stay. The front desk staff are great (especially Ingrid) and I used the hotel's airport transfer which went smoothly both ways. Beds and pillows super comfortable. Clean. The hotel was way too noisy, however. I changed rooms twice and the hotel staff were very responsive to my complaints. However, I just don't think it's okay to have bassy music blaring from the restaurant speakers. The hotel really needs to do some testing of how their sound and PA systems vibrate through guests' rooms. The food at the restaurant was pretty gross. I had fish and chips. The fish was fine but the chips were not fresh but tasted/texture like they'd been reheated. The breakfast was a real let-down too and mostly frustrating: items would remain unreplenished for long periods until I requested more be provided. In a hotel restaurant where there are so many staff knocking about, it's really not good enough to let food run out and leave guests waiting. Another gripe was that on my first morning room cleaners carried around a Bluetooth speaker to play music. The music woke me up - I'd arrived late the previous night and had had two hours sleep. Again, just no sense of how noise affects guests. Finally, bedroom doors should not be left open while rooms are cleaned during the day; mosquitoes enter. I spent an evening catching and killing five mosquitoes which had been let in during the day. I stopped getting my room cleaned because I didn't want to play 'catch the mozzies'.

Amazing stay and service at Lava Lava

We had a great few nights at Lava Lava hotel. The room was comfortable with AC, food was good and reasonable price, but the best part was the service. They helped us with getting to the ferry terminal, and when we had checked out we went back for help with booking a taxi when we missed the bus. They were so so nice and helpful!
