Great location. The room was expensive for one night, it smelt like mildew and the sheets felt moist. I was initially going to extend my stay but after smelling the room, I could only manage to sleep and leave.

Overall, good place to stay

The staff was excellent, very friendly. They provide you with beach accessories that you can rent out, which was great!! The rooms could have been cleaned better. There were blood stains on the ceiling and the toilet wasn’t clean when we got there. There was pee in the toilet and on the floor

Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. Rooms are very noisy due to being located on a main road. Beds were extremely firm and I do mean too firm! “Residence” is not a term I would use. The kitchenette did have a 2 burner stove, mini fridge and microwave but utensils were lacking. Location is close to many dining and shopping areas and the walk to the beach is doable.
