I want to start by saying that the staff was kind, lack a little of attention to detail but they are nice. The hotel is in a great location HOWEVER My sister and I (both women in our late 30's-40's) arrived at 3am and we were told we had to wait till 12pm or 3pm AST to check in. We had no where to go that early in the morning so we sat in the lobby on this dirty couch and felt "off" - tthen we started getting itchy and breaking out in hives, we also noticed that older men with younger "women" were coming in and out. this didn't make us feel safe. I asked the front desk clerk if he knew where our room would be he said somewhere upstairs, My sister's back was full of bug bites - it's now 5am and we decided to call the hotel we had purchased a daypass at it is a nicer bigger chain hotel and they said we could come and sit in the lobby and start using the facilities at 6am THANK GOD- I worked with Expedia to see if they could move us to a different hotel but the price difference was truly out of our budget - Expedia apologized and offered us our money back and we would get to keep the reservation. They ended up giving us a one bedroom villa on the same block this felt a little more safe the the building it had a locked porch and double lock front door. Service was a lacking as our room was only cleaned once we had to ask for fresh towels and extra sheets. Also the bathroom lacks ventalation so it makes the entire villa musty.

My door would not lock, the key card didn’t work I had to be moved to another room. I feared for my safety as a solo traveler. The guy at the front desk also said my room number out loud when is a big no no as a woman, the rooms as poorly outdated and the toilet ran all night, it’s close to the airport so you can hear flights all night. I will never stay here again the bed are overly used and need to be replaced I slept on a towel because it felt dirty, I couldn’t wait to check out. Never again

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
First let me say location was great, walkable to the beach. Close to a lot of restaurants and souvenir shopping. The hotel was decent, nothing fancy. It was clean and adequate. No hangers in room and no dresser. Staff was great, no issues with them at all. Both restaurants were good, but busy, service was a little slow. Comfortable for a short stay. Nice pool area.
