The hotel was clean and served it’s purpose. If you’re just looking for a clean place to sleep and shower then this place is for you. There was nothing extra and the price was good. They charge you $5/day for wifi if you want it and they also charge a daily fee for a safe as an option. The staff was friendly and helpful.

First i would like to make clear that the staff was wonderful. They went above and beyond to help me with anything I needed. That being said. The stay for the most part was poor. First hot water is sporadic. The first two days i was there i took cold showers. It wasn't until the third day when i was ready to take a bath in the hot tub when the hot water finally came out of the foset in my room. Then on the fifth day. I woke up in the morning and there was no water at all in my room. Also, they charge for the use of internet in the hotel. Twenty-five dollars a week. To go with that. You are continually automatically signed out of the network. I ended up using mostly mobile data while on the resort. Now my phone bill is outrageous! Lastly, the charge to use the room safe. Another Twenty-five dollers a week.. I had paid an extra forty dollars per day for an all inclusive stay. But they still found ways to squeeze extra fees from me. I would not recommend staying at this resort. While the surrounding scenery way beautiful. The lack amenities and comforts were far less then what i expected when i paid good money for this poor experience.

The hotel has an excellent view and breakfast. Very nice for family and couples. However, you have to pay $5 per day for Wi-Fi internet access. The hotel doesn’t allow guss to visit you in your room only in the lobby or pay double bill for the room it doesn’t matter how long.

This is one of the best resort I have ever been to. The staffs were very professional. The resort has very beautiful views. The breakfast was the best. I would gladly revisit and recommend this place to anyone. I just didn’t like the fact that I had to pay $5 every day for WiFi when the listing says free. Great place and staff overall!!!

This is a cute hotel that has a stunning view of the ocean and has pretty easy access to the beach. The hotel is steps away from the beach but be careful as you walk down since the rail is broken once you reach the bottom of beach. This is the kind of hotel you book when you are on a budget- rooms are clean and there is a very big pool. Breakfast is included. The bathrooms need a bit of an upgrade (there were nicks in tub) - not a huge deal but for those who are a little picky might be turned off. Plus the shower head is not on the wall. I should also mention that I left a couple days early and REQUIRED me to pay those days on reservation even though I didn't stay the remaining days. They used an excuse about me paying through expedia. I don't buy it. I am on the fence if I would stay here again.

I had to buy a package for the internet... which was a first for me. But it wasn’t a lot , But it kept shutting down on me the first 2 days . But the rest of the time it worked. The staff were very good, the pool beautiful, the room was very clean , bed was a firm mattress which was great for my back , ac was the coldest, The hotel it’s self is a little outdated but with the pandemic I could say all the hotels I’ve stayed At in the last year have reduced the maintenance a little, but overall I would definitely come back again

Property looked nothing like pictures. I booked a ocean view room. When I got to the property the guy said no it wouldn’t be a ocean view room as there was none. Said included wifi but you had to pay a daily charge for wifi use. Nothing was included, rooms were not in good condition and heard loud noises through the night

This is not a "boutique" hotel as the name leads you to believe. The property is way out-dated and probably was nice in the 1960s but needs serious repairs. Tile floors are cracking and worn. Windows are ill-fitting and window awnings are torn and falling off. The bathroom fixtures are worn, damaged, peeling, and generally unattractive. Paint and varnish stain was sloshed around on all surfaces. The proximity to the beach is excellent but there are no chairs and umbrellas to use. There is a second newer building on the north side of the property. I wonder if those rooms are any better. I would definitely choose somewhere else to rent next time.
