Clean room that smell nice, towels were clear white with warmth. Room layout was super user friendly with 2 spots to lie my suitcase. Nice view from balcony to the private beach with clothes hanger. Nice firm bed with 3 different styles of pillows. Friendly staff that seeks to help out. Nice amenities - body lotion, flip flops.

The hotel itself is very simple and clean, but the guest experience was disappointing. During my three-night stay, the toilet was broken and the drain was clogged, and despite informing staff, nothing was done to fix either issue. I also booked a two-room stay and later added an extra night. Instead of accommodating this in advance, the hotel required us to switch rooms, which should have been avoidable with proper planning. Overall, there was a noticeable lack of care and effort to resolve problems. Guest relations were poor, and for these reasons, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Keep away. Trust me.

Room Choice Mischaracterizes the View

The water view rooms all face the bay yet the room selections give you an ocean view as an option. You can see the ocean if you go out on the balcony and look to the right. I selected ocean view for a higher rate which is no different than a bay view hence is deceitful.
