We love this place

We are returning after staying here a few years ago. The rooms have great beach views and are clean and comfortable. The property is located close enough to the airport that we walked to it. We would definitely consider staying here again

Very pleased!

The rooms were clean and very comfortable! They have a refrigerator but no microwave in the room. The only complaint we had about the room was the smell coming from the sink drain. Otherwise, very nice and right on a gorgeous beach.

Pool was disgustingly green. Needed serious attention. Beach has great potential but had junk laying around. Bar staff girls were rude even though we tipped very well. All other staff were very polite and gracious. Not very much service to guests staying at tge hotel for what we paid.
