The location for the hotel was great, resturants and shops close, nice to have a pool, the rooms were run down, the breakfast is a slice of toast and butter and jam, unless u pay for eggs, most of the staff were very nice and accommodating and the walk to the beach is just 2 blocks away,

Liked: Staff & service
It was a good cost effective place to stay while waiting to transfer to our booked resort. It is in walking distance to accessible beaches, shopping, and entertainment. If you do not want an all inclusive resort, but want an affordable place to stay for a holiday and just need a place to put your head at night, this might be your place. There are no safes to keep valuables in the room and the doors to the rooms are not the most secure.

One of the rooms was unclean, with blood on the bed, walls, and doorknob. The staff claimed it was likely paint, but it didn't look like paint. There was broken glass on the floor (not safe for our kid), and the staff refused to inspect it or replace the room. We were relocated to another room for just one night, but we'll have to return the next evening. Deciding that the hotel didn't seem safe, we checked out and searched for another hotel. I won't recommend this hotel to others.
