We got a room on the first floor with patio. Wonderful view from patio/window and exit to the beach. Chairs/towels are available. We rented a boat next to the hotel. Nice experience. Hotel offers free breakfast, but it is not worth it, better to go to the local restaurants which are a lot around the hotel. Clean, quiet hotel (furniture are bit outdated).

They need to clean more the rooms from spider wipes n update the bathrooms. The staff 0 proficiency we ask for towels, they didn’t even bother knocking on the door. They put them on the floor. No one would use a towel that was laying on the floor in general was so poor even though was prepacked we thought would be a worm meal.each staff tells u something deferent for 2nights it was kind Confusing.
