The hotel was very cute and clean. It is just steps from the beach but not in the touristy part of town. We booked that hotel for our last night there solely for the proximity to the airport, an 11min drive. It was also a plus that they had a few restaurant choices within walking distance.

Amazing location, had some issues with the A/C which were fixed by staff after a couple hours and hot water took a long time to warm up but otherwise was a nice and comfortable stay with friendly service.

Mary is very nice when I checked in the hotel. She also so nice when I made a request for hot chocolate late night when I came from a whole day tour. I stayed there for 8 nights but the cleaning ladies only changed my bedsheets twice and they did not put toilet papers so I have to ask when I came late night after my whole day tour.

Nice Hotel. Very Nice Staff. Great location!
Very clean.
Receptionist was extremely nice and helpful.
Beds and bedding not so comfortable and air conditioning hard to regulate….which is often the case in hotels I guess.
Excellent location for the beach.

A queen or king room was ordered. The room received had two small twin beds. No hot water. After 5 minutes of waiting had to take a cold shower.
The desk people were friendly and accommodating with check in, directions and transportation.
