The windows don't lock and can be opened from the outside. Someone tried to get into our room in the middle of the night multiple times. No staff is available during night time hours.

Convenient walk to beach. Enough parking, though might be crowded if everyone had a car. Room was big enough and fridge worked well. Expected only continental breakfast from listing, but had pineapple, watermelon, then omelet one day, and the others rice/beans, scrambled eggs, plantains. Did not make it for dinner. Brewery next door was good. Pool was clean and refreshing. Not many chairs around it though. The front area was probably nice when it was new.

The hotel location is very convenient, the staff is very kind, the green areas and pool is well maintained. Breakfast was good. However my only big complaint will be the mattress. I have never slept in a harder mattress than the one in here. It was like sleeping in the floor and the two nights my bf and I slept here were pretty rough.

We stayed for the first time, and were very pleasantly surprised by the grounds and the pool area. The staff were all lovely and helpful. We especially connected with Ronald, his family and the staff who run the restaurant, they really took care of us. Thank you for everything. We will definitely be staying again.

Refund due to landslide and road closure.
We were stranded due to weather condition and landslide, it was impossible to reach the area. We tried two routes and drove 13hrs but still we couldn’t make it to the hotel. I would like them to refund me just like the other hotels in the area affected by the flooding and road closure.

Location is superb! Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shopping. Pool was also nice. The property could use updating and repairs. Room was average and very dark with one window. The room bedding definitely needs updating. A/C worked great. Priced a bit high, but overall had a good stay and can't beat the great location.

The beach is quite rocky. The pool isn’t very clean full of debris and bugs from the trees. The wifi cuts out often. The rooms are super small, very dated and the “standard room” does not come With a fridge. The restaurant is also grossly overpriced for a salad.
