Check in was at 3pm so we arrived at 2:45 the front desk lady didn’t show up until 3:20pm and when she finally showed up ot seemed as though we were an inconvenience to her and she never greeted us, never made us feel welcomed that day or any of the days we stayed at your hotel. We found out about the restaurant and rooftop pool when we were walking on the beach and they invited us in, we told them we were already guests but didn’t know those were available to us. I probably wouldn’t recommend this hotel just because of your front desk rep. The cleaning ladies were much more friendlier than her!

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.
