Nice little hotel with a friendly staff in a good location but I wasn't extended the basic courtesy of being given a 1 hour late checkout. It's something I needed as I was working and needed to attend a work call but I was told they were too busy to do so, even though I asked well ahead of time. It's the first time in all my hotel stays that I have been refused a 1 hour late checkout

The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Both the main building pool and the rooftop pool were absolutely beautiful, clean, and relaxing. I went on a mommy-and-daughter trip with my little girl, and it was nothing short of amazing. She loved every moment, especially the pools, and the spacious suites were perfect for just the two of us. The entire experience felt peaceful, safe, and truly special. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! Jessica R.

What a gem! I can't say enough about how amazing this boutique hotel was! The room! The staff! A In a perfect location. Amazing pools! Near everything but two blocks away so you don't hear the noise of the main street. Eat at Beatrice pizza! $8.95 a slice and fantastic! Also, Ocean Deli for the best cubano (and next to the hotel). Traditional food and cheap!

There was a very high number of roaches seen throughout my stay. Every day we had roaches in our room, at one point one was even in our fridge, YUCK. After reaching out regarding financial compensation we never heard back. If we at least heard back I would have given a higher review, however, after being ignored I am not happy with the service as well.
