We stayed one night at the end of our trip - chose this place because 1) it was close to the airport and beach, and 2) it was the cheapest option for one night. I read the reviews before booking so I knew more or less what to expect. It seemed clean, albeit sterile and not terribly comfortable. It was a totally fine stay - if you are expecting a luxury resort, then you may be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a less-expensive spot for a quick night or two with proximity to the airport, then this place fits the bill! We did not take advantage of the pool nor the dining options.

Room are very outdated. Thin walls. A bit noisy. It’s. Close to a lot of restaurants walking distance. Should have had more value for the money. But that’s PR for you. Don’t think you getting what the pictures show.

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.
