This property has a beautiful location right on the beach!! the pool is perfect. We loved our stay very much, we recommend rooms 14, 15...those in the back facing the pool that is right next to the bar, which is on the other side of the beach. You can't beat it!

Walk right to the beach. Super friendly and helpful staff. Free breakfast was great! They give you a beach towel when you check in, which was great because we forgot ours. Beach was amazing. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel isnโ€™t over populated, nice cozy feel. Hot water and strong AC. Would definitely return!

Is not a fancy hotel. however, has everything you need, clean, good air conditioning and hot water. Pool is perfect, walk easy to the beach. Restaurant and bar near the pool. The restaurant has good food but not a big selection but you always can order out to be deliver. Do not let the entrance turn you off. Is a really good small hotel.

We would not stay here again. There were people partying and yelling until 8am and paper-thin walls so no one got any sleep. The beds were rock hard and no blankets were provided. The staff was nice enough and the breakfast was ok. The pool area is very nice however walking around the property was slippery and dangerous because of the mildew on the tiles everywhere. We left two days early in search for a better place to stay.

The location was great. On the quieter end of the beach which was nice. If the hotel put a little money into the place it would go a long way

The property is a little dated. But well maintained. Staff was freindly and helpful. Setting was picturesque. I liked the fact it was slightly off the beaten path, but less than a $5 uber ride from the heart of the night life. Only negative I would give is I would have liked to have gad a deadbolt option on door.
