If you want a more local feel to your stay, that is close to the beach, this is a good hotel. Close to a gas station with coffee and pastries, breakfast burritos, fast food, basic groceries and an ATM. Small bar and restaurant across the street. Dogs barking and roosters crowing...amidst the coral architecture of the building which I understand is prepping for a massive sea turtle installation on the top floor. 5 minute walk to the beach...can't beat the price or the friendly staff.
