Hotel Zora

"The hotel is on a lovely quiet peninsula, surrounded by tree and beautifully blue waters. The air is fresh, and there's only one road in and out. Now to the bad parts: * The layout is labyrinthine, with 8 or 9 buildings connected one to the next by corridors, and unclear doors in or out of them. Many doors were locked at night, and there's no key-based access. * Buildings 1-5 (maybe 6 as well, don't recall) were very old, with no soundproofing towards the hallways, and old scratched furniture. I stayed there for two weeks, and two crowds of teenagers made a ruckus until 2am on most nights. * There were double-pane widows and balcony doors, which helped somewhat reduce the horrible screeching noise from the BULLDOZING that's been taking place on the beach. Hopefully they'll be done soon with that, so not a huge con. * The included breakfast and dinner buffet was decent. Not a lot of options, but more than satisfactory for me (foodies might be underwhelmed). * Restaurant staff was a little strict. If you stayed 10 minutes past the breakfast or dinner closing time (10am, 9pm), they'd come to your table and tell you they're closed. * The bars were open late, and made decent (albeit variable in quality) cocktails. * The pillows were the worst I've ever had in a hotel or Airbnb. Felt like a bunch of dead mice or clumps of cut up old clothes were inside. Tip: never leave your food unattended on the terrace. Seagulls will snatch it WITHIN SECONDS. I would only stay there again in one of the new blocks, (7 and up, MAYBE 6), and only when they're done with the bulldozing."
