We enjoyed our stay here and the location of the hotel is great. However, it really depends what room you get. We requested a room with two beds and got one king size bed at first in a moldy smelling and very old looking room, worst I have ever seen, like in a very run-down motel. We went to complain and a nice receptionist gave us the room we requested - two beds and much better room, clean and updated. However, the AC was set to 66 F and there was no way to turn it up. The remote was missing and it took another trip to the reception to get that sorted out. The hotel charges extra $30 per day - not sure why. They say water is included - we got a small bottle each at the beginning of the 5 day stay and that was it. The information the hotel provides is misleading. One has to request a room service for cleaning but regular towels are changed daily. However getting clean beach towels or bathroom floor towel was sometimes a problem. The kitchen has some dishes but nothing to clean them with. So what are we paying $30 per day for? The hotel bar is very overpriced for the quality of the drinks (we had one good drink and one not so good one). I probably wouldn’t come back.

From the moment I entered the room, there was a strong bad smell and the room felt wet and damp, which made me feel sick and uncomfortable. Everything appeared dirty and not properly cleaned, which is completely unacceptable for a hotel stay.
