Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had a one night stay at Magnums in one of the cabins, surrounded by tropical rainforest. very little noise filtered through from the restaurant/bar/nightclub complex at the front. The room was clean and quite spacious. Excellent value.

The accomodation was basic but good and clean and value for money. Location was excellent; in the middle of the town, near all amenities. WiFi in room was good plus smart TV. Could have had more toiletries!

What a great place to stay if you’re travelling and on a budget young and old . I booked last minute 2 weeks ago I’ve never stayed in a place like this before but because of my diet I need a kitchen and my own bathroom. Plus a comfortable bed . Travelling solo after 40 years I was a little nervous but after reading other reviews on trip advisor I felt comfortable.
