Shouldn’t be a hotel - dangerous area
The pictures look great, the reality is very different.
The hotel is right in the middle of a horrendously dangerous area. You can see from the pictures, it’s surrounded by 20 feet high walls, forming a prison like state - which it effectively is. Completely impractical place for a hotel, that leaves you unsafe to walk to the beach which is 30 mins away without a risk of being mugged.
The roads leading up to the hotel are only accessible via motorbikes or 4x4s, so taxis don’t visit or drop here.
When I visited, there were no food menus (had to ask the Spanish only speaking chef what’s available and tell him), no prices for anything (only found out how much the drinks from the mini bar were on checking out), no other paying guests (nice to have the pool to myself, but weird).
Insects were crawling all over the floors of the bedroom. And the bathroom is so poorly designed, any short people will struggle to sit on the elevated toilet, next to the shower - so it gets wet.
Effectively, this isn’t a hotel. It should be an air bnb for those who like dodgy areas. Hopefully the impending new management sort a lot of the issues out! Avoid in 2017 though!

Interesting hotel, more like someones house, actually very nice, but in a dodgy area and too far from the beach front. Great service from Elisabeth and the rest of the staff.
