This hotel was disgusting. The mattresses were old, maybe from the 80s, moldy and filthy. No blankets on bed. The room itself was dingy and dark, but did have air conditioning. We stayed in a partial ocean view with a walkout to pool. Cockroaches as well. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good.

Didn’t enjoy my room, surrounding area is very dirty and smelling. Water near the hotel is stagnant water and it’s smelled horrible. Only positive is it’s right intro t of the beach. Family and friends of 16 people, 6 people got sick with sour throat and cold cough. Looks like it’s the water. I won’t recommend for any of my friends family.

Our stay was great! Rooms and hotel overall are very clean. The staff is so friendly and always willing to make your stay the best. The food is incredible!! Important to mention that in the creek between the parking lot and rooms, there lives an 8-10 feet crocodile, the hotel staff stated that it lives there and that they have never had any problems, there is no way it can get to the actual hotel, but it is important to mention so you are not shocked in case you see it.
Beautiful

Loved the location! Beach is awesome. This is a nice quiet place to stay. By 9pm it’s very quiet and chill. The rooms are clean however the beds and pillows aren’t the best but honestly the location and price made up for it. Our room was clean and the perfect size we were right next to the restaurant kitchen and it did get noisy there starting at 5am so I recommend a room further away but really this property is a gem!

The only thing we liked was that it was on the beach, but the hotel is old and not very clean, there’s a pool but also not clean, food is ok, staff is helpful after a while, no shampoo or conditioner, hair dryer didn’t work, food was ok, chairs on the beach were limited and taken, beach is ok not the nicest in the area, about 15-20 minute walk from the town, for the prove you would think they would have better amenities, cleaner rooms, and upgraded interiors
