This was my third stay at this hotel. The staff is great - both Lupeta and Joceline at the reception were a great help throughout the stay. The free breakfast is generous, location is perfect right at the ocean. Rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Do not believe anything written by people who are paid to post positive comments. This is a trash can, not a hotel. Avoid it at all costs. It’s very dirty, run down, bed full of hair, dirty toilet without a door, along with a disgusting smell in the room, etc. No positive points. I give 0 stars. Do not let the pictures on their site or social media fool you: it’s false advertising. AVOID!!!

Comfortable stay! Beautifully decorated and convenient location! However the lights on the balcony stay on all night (no off switch) and there is conflicting music between the cafe connected to the hotel and the restaurant next door but not too bad! We would stay here again and again!

The property has very nice accommodations and is right on the beach, but I was unaware that you couldn't flush tissue down the toilets. I found this to be very unsanitary and this ruined my vacation.

I really love this hotel, but over the years I can see it’s slowly declining. It’s a a few small things that will enhance its ratings. The room layout is very unique and different, but it’s giving update vibes. For the price, I’ll definitely be visiting again. I hope some adjustments are made. Most definitely recommend to others. My small peeves wouldn’t deter me from staying again in the future.

I didn’t like not being able to flush the toilet paper in the toilet after I wiped myself which caused the room to have a smell. I have never been in place that I couldn’t flush the toilet paper that’s very unsanitary.
