Great place to stay!

Very friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere! The road beside the hotel leads straight to the beach, so it's extremely easy to get to the sand. Also, the hotel is within walking distance to lots of great restaurants, including a seafood place directly across the street. I'd definitely stay here again.

Clean bedding/linens (comfortable), floors, tv, fridge & microwave was nice & AC worked well. Not too noisy. The toilet wasnt anchored properly to the floor. I would recommend a total remodel of the shower & toilet area.

Think twice before paying in advance!

Spent 5 nights and they never swept or cleaned the floor. No housekeeping was done. We had to go get fresh towels when we ran out. Sand on the floors and the pool was dirty.
