Rooms were clean. View of the beach was beautiful. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We did not use the pool during our trip. Everything you need is close by. Hotel could use some updating but we have stayed there several times and would stay there again in the future.

I booked 3 rooms for 2 days with Kitchen but during check in they gave 2 rooms only with kitchen and 1 without. Also Hotel mentioned that they did not receive the amount from Expedia so they charged me for 3 rooms again during check out. The front desk said it was for deposit but it has been 15 days, I still did not receive the deposit yet. Horrible experience wrt payments & deposit. However rooms were clean & good, hence I gave only 2 stars for that.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was big and clean, and the front desk people were kind. However, I wish I got a room in the main hotel that had a lobby. My room was across the street, so it was a bit inconvenient having to cross the busy street to get to my room. I also had to go to the main lobby across the street to get water each time, which was tiresome.

Disliked: Amenities
I was really expecting a nicer room, but it was ok. Upon check-in i was expecting to pay only the balance. Well needless to say that isnt what was charged to my account. I did not appreciate that at all. Didnt have enough towels our room was never cleaned while we were there. I was just expecting something a little different.
