La Cecile Hotel and Cafe Komodo

Debated between 3 or 4 stars because the room was pretty awful but everything apart from the room was lovely so 4 stars. Location is good as it gives you amazing views. The hotel do a drop off/pick up service. Not sure if it's all free as we only used the service for a free lift to another hotel but they did offer to pick us up in town the one night we stayed but we had a scooter so didn't need it. We had ment to book 2 nights here but at the moment of payment it changed to 1 night and we never noticed until we arrived at the hotel. They were fully booked the second night so we could only stay the 1 night. Which in the end we didn't mind as the room was pretty awful anyway. We had a double bed with a balcony and sea view. The view was amazing but that was it. Bed was uncomfortable, pillows stiff, sheets and towels marked. Aircon was not great. The bathroom was awful. The walls and tiles covered in mould and walls flaking off. Toilet lid not on properly. Shower head dirty and shooting in all directions. Very hot and stinky. In general the finish in the bathroom was terrible, everything wonky not on properly ect. The sliding doors to the balcony were hanging off, we kept having to fix them back on. Massive gaps in the doors and average aircon ment the room didn't feel cool. Outside of the room it was nice. Pool area lovely. Dining area clean and amazing views. Staff were super friendly, spoke great English and were super helpful!!!! Breakfast was limted to what was on the menu but what we got was lovely and more than enough. We stayed in two different hotels after this one and this was the second most expensive (not by much) and I'd rather stay in either the other two than here purely because the room was so bad. The amazing views were great but not enough to persuade me it was worth it. We paid much less for a far better, huge room elsewhere, without a view but closer to the main street. We paid slightly more for a ever so slightly smaller room but double the bathroom. Great views, more atmosphere, better food, with a far better quality room and bathroom was the best we've used our whole month travelling. So I would say overall a nice hotel with lovely helpful staff but the rooms let it down and don't make it worth it. I'd personally rather a better room for the same price elsewhere.

We were here on the Cafe for the sunset and the view was magnificent. The food are also good especially the Fried Banana with caramel if I'm not mistaken. We finished it in minutes and even order a second one...... It was that good.
