I stayed in one of the hotel’s ground-level suites and found it to be a very nice size, more than enough space for my comfort as a solo traveler. The suite was well laid out and included an electric stove, small refrigerator, washer and dryer, and two televisions, one in the living room and one in the bedroom - which made the stay convenient and comfortable. While I could tell that some upgrades had been made, I do think the property is lacking attention to certain details. The volume on the living room television wasn’t working properly, the freezer in the refrigerator was frozen over making it difficult to close the door, and the bathroom faucet was loose. Additionally, the washcloth rack in the shower showed visible rust. Overall, the suite had a lot of positives and good potential, but addressing these maintenance and detail issues would significantly improve the guest experience.

The shower had hair in it, as if it wasn’t cleaned. We frozen all night because the air wouldn’t adjust. Expensive for a cheap, run down hotel. The only positive was the staff was pleasant.

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Room are very outdated.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.
