The hotel is colorful well lit and safe. I liked the room except for the nightstand drawers would not close. After several minutes in the shower, the bathroom mirror cracked in half. I told the front desk person and they said they knew it would happen😳

The property was cute. A little small, but we barely stayed in the room. The pool in the partner hotel was nice, but also small. Being right on the beach was awesome and the nightlife was great!

Cute hotel. The rooftop pool, breakfast, bar, etc are located at The President hotel which is a very quick walk but slightly confusing to find on your first try. We encountered one staff member that was not friendly but the rest were fabulous. Easy walking to pretty much anything you need and they will help you set up tours etc. The front of the hotel is on a street closed to vehicles so you will be dropped off at the corner if you are not parking a vehicle with valet at The President. Also, the hotel is not wheelchair accessible so please be mindful of that if it pertains to you or your group. I did not see any accessible access to the front door. There is an elevator inside to access every floor except the first which has a few steps up to access those rooms. The beach access is fantastic and the restrooms/outdoor shower is very close to the hotel. Overall I would stay here again and recommend it to others.
