We were not provided with maid service for our entire stay. We needed to go find and ask for clean towels and toiletries, and needed to repeatedly ask for beach towels. We requested a beach view room but instead was given a 2nd floor room overlooking the dilapidated pool/pool area. When we requested a room change we were told no.

The location of the hotel is great. It’s right next to the beach if you love surfing instead of snorkeling. 7min drive to the airport and 30 min to old town. Because it’s close the airport, it was supposed to be loud, but it’s not, because the AC is super duper loud which covered all the noise around the room including the construction right next door. Which I’m saying is that it seems they are always under constructions according to my experience and other reviews from earlier visitors. Nevertheless it’s still mostly noisy in many ways. Also the WiFi is really bad in some rooms. The manager made some excuses of the WiFi is being fixed but it never got better. The garage has a low ceiling and dark , but not as bad as what the previous reviews said, but it was like a maze to us at the first. The beds are good but it would be nice to have quilts instead of a thin light blanket(like the one they offer on a flight). Overall it’s not too bad for its price. But I guess I would not stay there again because of the WIFI and noise.

But the bar abd cafe were closed the entire time. The game room has lots of machines that don’t work. No pool, but the beach access was good.

The location is perfect. The hotel is clean and comfortable. It is under construction with renovations which are desperately needed. Its not the most beautiful right now.. but i never saw a bug and it didn't smell. Its a comfortable and safe place to sleep as you visit the city. Would recommend.

Overall we had a nice stay. Family friendly. Sandy beach. The main issue that we experienced was construction noise ( drilling) Monday to Friday between 10am to approximately 3pm. We wasn't planned to stay in room too much but during the rainy days there is not much options where you can go with little one.

We will not stay at this hotel again. So sorry, I really hate being negative and normally if I can't something nice, I don't say anything at all. Not at all as shown in the pictures, was smelly, and everything inside the room, very old. On top of everything we haven't received our security deposit back yet. Our stay was Dec13-Dec 14.
