The hotel is located near a popular point of interest, very close to the beach, restaurants, souvenir shops, and bars. However, since the hotel is very close to the bar, it might keep you up all night.

The place was overall dirty. They gave us towels with stains all over them. When we first checked in they gave us a dirty room the bed was unmade, trash everywhere, the bathroom was dirty so we had to go to the front desk again to get a new room. The next day they knocked at our door saying if we were checking out when our reservation was for a longer stay. Nothing seemed to go the right way

I liked that it was right around the corner from the beach and restaurants. I arrived way earlier than I had intended and they allowed me to check in early. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is close to the beach. Yadira is very kind. It needs an ice machine and some remodeling in the gardens.

This small hotel probably wouldn’t be a lot of people’s first choice. But find that the staff couldn’t be nicer or willing to please. We love staying here

Nice, clean, friendly staff. Great option for the location and price. A no frills boutique hotel in a very walkable area close to beaches, bars and restaurants. Only thing would be to be on the second floor. Could hear the people above us moving around not a huge issue still slept well.

Overall, I give this hotel five stars, but I feel compelled to mention an issue we encountered during our stay. When we made our reservation in person for a three-day stay, we were quoted a specific rate per night. However, after confirming the booking, we discovered that only the first night was at the quoted rate, while the other two nights were significantly higher.
