My stay was good, check in was easy and staff was nice. The room was clean and in good condition, the only thing that stops me from leaving a 5 star review is that the towels didn't look clean and looked a little stained, additionally the room had a musty smell. Overall, for the price of the rooms, the condition of the establishment, and the hospitality of the staff I consider that the good things outweigh the bad and I recommend staying here.

Big room comfy bed hot shower very clean room. Noisy road outside Wi-Fi not brilliant and they want $150 secured on your card for damage which takes a week to come back. All other properties we’ve stayed at on this trip haven’t done this.

We recently stayed two nights. The check-in process was easy and the room was clean, updated and comfortable. TV, air conditioning, mini fridge and shower all worked as expected. We enjoyed the pool. Several beaches are less than 30 minute away.

Accommodations were great, especially if you wanted to stay at least a week. Refrigerator was a good size and microwave was big also good screen size television with many viewable stations bedding was comfortable. Everything was clean and Air conditioning was really cold if that’s the kind of thing you’re looking for in the summer of months. I did not use it, but I did notice a heated pool and I did also see a cute little tiki bar right before the entrance which seems to be very popular For that area.
