I liked the direct access to the beach. I disliked the cleanliness and the amount of drunk people roaming around the rooms. We even had a drunk open our door by “accident”, while we were in the room.

The place looks nice but there was no bed sheets on the bed just the mattress protector and a spread sheet we couldn’t covered up. The pool was dirty and they don’t run the pool for a long period of time unfortunately we couldn’t used the pool. No toilet paper in the property bathrooms except the rooms.

The staff was friendly and nice. We were part of a large group that had communicated to the resort that we were coming. They had months in advance notice. When I showed up to the hotel I was told I had a balance for the two rooms. Fortunately I had the itemized receipt and was able to show them what I had paid. We ordered food and it took well over an hour and a half to get our food. It was absolutely delicious but everyone was upset at how long it was taking. People waited over two hours for food. The rooms are small. The A/C was not working and they were only to place a fan in the room. There aren’t many outlets so bring an extension cord. The overall look of the hotel is adorable. The beach was great.

The information online offered a 'partial view' of the ocean, which was false. There are NO rooms that offer any view of the beach/ocean. I made a reservation but when I arrived, was told it didn't exist...but they were able to 'find' the reservation the next day - after charging me twice. They also argued with me about both fees..I had to dispute both. do not stay here!! also NO HOT WATER!! and the pool was disgusting

I stayed for one night. To be totally objective so these local hotels are able to improve to better standards.. this hotel needs a lot of improvement with the basic infrastructure in the room - it is very dated, and stains everywhere in the ceiling and everywhere. In the bathroom, the water facet is broken. There is no breakfast menu, only the local breakfast that is available as they are included in your room. They also charge you for extra black coffee.. There was some kind of karaoke happening at the pool area, and it was really loud where you couldnt rest in your room at all. One thing positive was the immediate response the front desk gives you when reached out for this noise, they immediately responded and quietened them down. Otherwise, everything was very average or below.
