The day I checked in , my card was charged double the amount. They acted as if nothing was paid for. They also tried to cut my reservation short and told me I had to pay for another room. I will never stay there again . The tv did not work the entire time, and the water was brown .

Please do not come here. The only reason why this property has a good review is that they they buy their reviews from their locals this place is a dump and it is trash and false advertisement. This hotel looks like is a rundown hotel paint is chipped locals living in the apartments looks so rundown, unsafe, moldy, smelly, and not well-maintained. Staff is terrible, hardly spoke English and give attitude once you question them about the property and paperwork. This property is a scam property. Please be warn not to go. I had to end up booking another hotel because this was false advertisement and it was just trashy. They are not answering my calls because I called for my refund. I spoke to the manager and she said I am able to get it refund through Expedia and Expedia was trying to contact them and they kept not answering and I called and they hanged up on me.

But I like about this property is that anything that I asked they were able to answer my questions. Even though there is a difference in language, everybody was so helpful and whatever my needs were. There was an attached Pharmacy that is open 24 hours so that you can grab a snack or water or anything else you need. Your food is at both restaurants. Onto the beach. Security is awesome. There is always someone there whether or not they belong there. I like to see if people are on the guest list to make sure that they’re getting the free breakfast or if there’s too many people coming in, they don’t allow it.
