I think the property is nice, big pool, AC works nice ! The bed was comfortable and your in the middle of it all. Steps from the beach and steps from all restaurant l. Recommend this stay for 2 nights at most. Sunset at the beach was beautiful and great restaurants with a vibrant nightlife all around.hotel had dogs and cats every where. 3.5/5 is my review.

We enjoyed our stay here! The staff was very friendly and our room was very nice. The property is well maintained. It sits off the Main Street so there is a lot of noise and traffic noise.

Nice place, friendly and helpful staff. The dogs are also just as friendly, polite, well trained, affectionate yet controlled, do not make disruptive noises like barking, whining or anything like that, and provide a sweet welcoming upon the arrival of guests (as far as my experience went as well as what I witnessed). Would stay again

Central location, across from the beach, has a specious pool and a wiener dog on site that chases the iguanas. What more could you possibly want?

Right in the heart of town; beach and restaurants just steps away. Friendly staff, check in and check out very easy. Parking with locked gate at night. Little loud at night, but expected due to location.

This hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of town, without getting the noise of the nightlife not far away. Beautiful room with a small patio beside the pool. Staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it for women as it was secure and safe, without feeling “guarded”…

Lovely hotel, perfect location and very kind staff. The hotel has 2 dogs, one big and small who are super cute, and are friendly but will generally ignore you and not be in your face if you don't want them to be. The pool had a few leaves/ bugs floating around and could be skimmed more often, but it was still perfectly fine to swim in.

Fantastic location and deal! Can’t wait to return!
This place was amazing! Literally on the main corner of the town, it was comfortable and welcoming after a hot day on the beach. We had a standard king that was on the bottom floor that opened out to the pool. It was very safe and contained. They locked the gates at night. Our bed was very comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. The walk in shower could fit a small family and there were ample cabinets for storage. There was a small fridge with ice in it which was wonderful. The decor was hand carved wood. We saw some negative reviews we want to refute. There was some construction noise during the day but we never heard our neighbors. Yes you need to bring beach towels but that’s normal at a hotel. There was a nice outdoor kitchen (pictured) where you could grill your own food. It’s in the middle of downtown but never seemed rowdy or unsafe. There was always someone on staff in the parking lot and entrance. The staff was incredible. The place was spotless. We are already booking another trip to stay here!
