Reviews and Ratings
I enjoyed my stay for two nights, with friendly staff and a clean room. However, I did encounter some small cockroaches and mosquitoes in the bathroom, which wasn’t ideal. The view was nice, but the rocky beach wasn’t conducive to swimming. The food was okay, but lacked variety. Overall, it was a decent place to relax after exploring, but not without its quirks.
I booked a five-night stay hoping for some peace by the sea, and while the room was spacious and offered a nice view, the lack of Wi-Fi in my room was disappointing. The noise from a nearby workshop and early church music made it hard to fully enjoy the experience. The breakfast was basic, and overall, it felt a bit run down. However, I appreciated the beautiful sea view and had a decent time snorkeling nearby.
I had a mixed experience at Collin Beach Hotel. The setting is beautiful and quiet, perfect for a peaceful getaway, but the facilities and rooms could use some updates. The hotel is located near a rocky shore, and while the staff were helpful, the service had its hiccups, especially with power cuts and inconsistencies in bike rentals. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're looking to escape the hustle of Kota Ambon, but it's not without its flaws.
The hotel offers lovely views of the sea, but the beach is rocky and not ideal for swimming. The breakfast is quite basic, and while the rooms are nice, there are some noise issues at night. Overall, it's a decent spot for a short stay if you're okay with some quirks.
The hotel's best feature is definitely its location right by the coast, which offers a beautiful view, though the rocky beach isn't ideal for swimming. The rooms are simple and clean, but there were some minor pest issues. Dining options are decent, but don't expect a wide variety. Overall, it's a solid choice for a quick escape from the city, especially if you're up for some scooter adventures to discover better beaches nearby.
