This place is in need of a renovation. I don't think anything has been done to this property since it opened. When I came and got my room key I opened up the door and they haven't even cleaned the room pizza boxes on the floor unmade beds. I didn't even want to stay there after that

This hotel was terrible. It was old, nasty, and shady. We had to ask for a new room because how disgusting the first room they gave us. The breakfast was also disgusting. If you can afford to pay more to stay somewhere else, i would highly recommend it.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Room was quaint and very clean. Pools are amazing, beautiful ocean view, and attached restaurants, Rick's and Gaido's were outstanding. Breakfast was great, too. Don't waste your money on large, chain hotels, this place is relaxing and appears to be staffed by very friendly, kind locals.

The room was fine but the bathroom needed to be scrubbed. Bathtub, walls, floor. Bad leak from soap dispenser caused slippery bathtub, so I had to put a towel down so not to slip in tub. I'm 71, so it matters. The lady at the front desk needed a more customer service attitude. The ladies in the breakfast room were #1 best experience I had. I loved them!!

The bed was comfortable and we loved having good dining options as well as being so close to the beach. The room was quite dirty. The carpet was damp and needed cleaned as I had to wipe my feet off before getting into bed. The vents and ceilings were covered with lint. The chairs in the room were uncomfortable. Our room shared a hallway with the room next to us and the guests were very noisy, playing loud music in the hall off and on up to 3 am.
