Didn’t meet expectations unfortunately
The hotel has great views. However, we found some of the facilities could be improved. It offers a pickup by speedboat (10 minutes in the boat, the rest by car) from the airport. If you travel to the island on the ferry no offer to collect you from the quayside or just your cases was available. In the heat it is quite a struggle for an elderly couple.
The welcome by the young receptionist was ‘indifferent’. A male waiter was also similar throughout our stay. The older receptionists were fine and the breakfast lady was excellent and very helpful.
The restaurant has a wonderful view but there were so many wasps and flies around we gave up eating outside and sat indoors. Excellent choice at breakfast but no cover for the meats and cheese so the flies were attracted to them, very off putting. We had just one lunch and one dinner, both were nice.
We tried the little family restaurant next door and we enjoyed the food and the happier ambiance plus it was much cheaper.
Our room, a Junior Suite, was large with a great balcony and excellent bathroom. No tea/coffee maker but we did have a kettle. No coffee sachets and no fresh milk just powdered milk. The TV has lots of channels - it would help if there was a printout of the channels.
Small pool, not many sun beds but plenty down at sea level. No bar service down there which would have been nice.
Sipan is very quiet with just a couple of kiosks.
We went for 5 nights, 2 would have been enough as hotel lacked joy.
