The good name for this place “dog shelter”. Staff never wash bed sheets it torn and sticky, i have to use my beach towel to cover the mattress. Last maintains for room was probably 15 years ago. Air condition they are named is piece of rusty junk not even turn fan. When i ask to fix AC, I got rude answer “ NO and if you don’t like, leave“. All walls covered with mold, and shower it is just a bucket of dirty water which is also toilet flusher. People avoid this place !!!!! Shame Expedia for offering this place :(

Fix Room 105
The first room that was given to us was very poor particularly the toilet. We couldn't even close the door because the knob was broken. And, the toilet bowl was the worst. You have to hold the cover if you want to use it because a portion of the hinge was already dettached from the bowl. There were other vacant rooms when we checked in but, I don't understand why they gave us that crap room. Good thing is they allow us to transfer to another room when we requested so. Nevertheless, the location is excellent because it is just right in front of the beach. It is accessible to anywhere you might need to go. They also have a restaurant where you can find delicious food with reasonable price. I would recommend this hotel but avoid Room 105.

Bad hotel - good location
Room not cleaned - spiders and spiderweb more places.. Things were not functioning - toilet broken but could flush, toilet door couldn’t close, lamp wasn’t fully working (blinking a lot).. Staff friendly but not service minded. Long waiting times, being ignored at the service desk, and forgetting to come with e.g my towels as promised.. However it was an excellent location!

Excellent location and helpful staff but that's where the positives finish. The actual hotel is old dirty and smelt like damp. Not ventilated at all so felt sticky throughout our stay. Ants in the bathroom. Lots of mosquitoes in this area aswell which the hotel can't help necessarily but we feel the damp sticky nature of the rooms attracted them.

This establishment is horrible. First... there fan room and A.C was confusing especially if your first timer.It did not show or disclosed fan room or A.C in their main amenities as options. When I checked in...front desk inform me if I was aware the room was a fan room?? I didn't understand and confused. It was like super hot weather and like to have a room yo cool down on vacation. Also the bathroom toilet seat was not screwed and bathroom lock stuffed with toilet tissue and the place smells,etc...The manager didn'taccommodate me but to charge me more for A.C .WHO WANTS TO GO ON VACATION WITH NO A.C??!!! IT'S STUPID!!! I won't trust this place as far as truthfulness and cleanliness. Maybe if your a backpackers or college kids for the price...yeah.I don't expect very much for the price but at least have to have an A.C and cleanliness. Totally disrespectful place to vacationers.

Great Location!
absolute amazing beach and area. Loved the Hera Greek Patio upstairs and the chill lounge with pool above the Caluna beach lounge, but I forgot the name of it now. Service was aweful: booked for 3 adults, got a room for 2 adults, and a mattress was added onto the floor for the 3rd person. False advertisement on Hotels.com.... watch out... you usually get one less bed... might end up having to upgrade and pay more. The mattress then arrived late during the day after check-in, while I requested the mattress several times already, Rooms were not very clean, and slow to provide bathroom utensils, which should have been there already. But it was cheap and was very close to great location! Shouldn't have expected more!

Right on the beach. Price would suggest reasonable accommodation but it is instead more the budget conscious, cold water shower, poor tv, and broken bathroom type of place you can usually get for 600 pesos. Avoid it. Many better choices along along beach.

Nice room for 2 people, don't book it for 3!
We book a double room with an extra bed (we paid extra for that) as we were 3 people. But when we get there the room.was too small to add an extra bed, and actually they did not have an extra bed. They just gave us a thin mattress to lay it in the floor. We tried to talk to the owner but the only solution he gave us was to sleep in 2 rooms and paying the full rate for the extra bed, even this was not what they offer in the site. We paid extra for the first night, and luckily Expedia cancelled the rest of the booking and we went to other hotel. Room is ok for 2 people, but never book it for 3!!!

Fan Room Follies
Please note: This review refers to a "fan room" on offer. One of the yuckiest rooms I have ever stayed in! I know it was cheap, but only a few pesos more would have got me out of this really dark situation. How or why I stayed 2 nights is a matter for a psychiatrist. No hot water, fan is not even a ceiling fan, mold on ceiling, stinky, no towel rack, broken toilet seat, one pillow was from an old couch (possibly?), and a reminder that no matter how (seemingly) nice the staff are, the place gets my overall lowest rating for even offering to rent this room to humans. Even if it was free, I would still complain!
