sylvia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great for beach access

Room was spacious and fairly clean with strong AC and amazing water pressure. The pool was really nice, and we regularly saw beautiful parrots fly overhead while we swam. Staff was lovely once you get past the check-in where they were pretty aggressive about selling tours. Restaurant and bar were great, and the breakfast was perfect for an active day. Unfortunately, their policy is to charge $20/hour for late check out, but when the electricity and water went out 3 hours before our check out leaving us without a shower that day, they offered no compensation or extra time to clean ourselves. Really, the only flaw of this place was the reception staff. Otherwise, lovely place!

Very nice hotel. Staff was very nice.
Edwin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Functional, better for young crowd

Super cute hotel right on the beach, the reception woman is the sweetest person and helped us a lot! This would be good for a younger person I think, bar/pool area plays music pretty loud all day and a little late into the night. Definitely some ruckus outside from other guests late. Only other downside is there is no blankets on the beds, it just a sheet. Otherwise, very cute vibes and simple functional rooms

The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they served a nice big breakfast! The room was quite spacious and comfortable and the setting has a nice decor with lots of trees and plants and a little bridge over a small creek.

This property has a beautiful location right on the beach!! the pool is perfect. We loved our stay very much, we recommend rooms 14, 15...those in the back facing the pool that is right next to the bar, which is on the other side of the beach. You can't beat it!

Walk right to the beach. Super friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast was great! They give you a beach towel when you check in, which was great because we forgot ours. Beach was amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel isn’t over populated, nice cozy feel. Hot water and strong AC. Would definitely return!
Ray, 2-night trip

The location was great. On the quieter end of the beach which was nice. If the hotel put a little money into the place it would go a long way

10/10 Exceptional

Is not a fancy hotel. however, has everything you need, clean, good air conditioning and hot water. Pool is perfect, walk easy to the beach. Restaurant and bar near the pool. The restaurant has good food but not a big selection but you always can order out to be deliver. Do not let the entrance turn you off. Is a really good small hotel.
