Wonderful little boutique hotel. Very helpful friendly staff - in February the restaurant and bar , unfortunately, are only open on weekends because the food and drinks are very good. So close to the beautiful Isla Verde beach - like 10 steps - and reasonably priced.

The staff stood out the most during my stay. The ladies who clean the rooms are super nice and accommodating. The welcoming when we arrived was great and easy as well. The hotel only has 5 parking spots and 15 rooms so parking can be a problem if you want to stay out late. The beach is directly across the street which is nice. The restaurant which is opened only during the weekend has good food and the ambiance was nice. The rooms however need major improvements. We literally spent the first day looking for another hotel because it was not what we’re use too. It’s old looking and needs a lot of repairs. The hooks fell off the wall, the refrigerator had this weird plastic on it that was ripped, the water pressure in the shower was horrible, and the tub itself looked horrible. They had rugs on the nightstands which was kind of weird and the sockets were all hanging out of the wall. The rooms need to be upgraded immediately or they will begin to lose business.

Showed up to a dirty room, had stained couch, and blood stained sheet. The bathroom and couch still had sand from the previous occupants. Not enough parking. The people who work there are nice. But someone dropped the ball big time.
