Very nice boutique hotel. I had no problem with check-in and staff was respectful. The room was very clean and the fridge came stocked with water and local beer. The cleaning staff was so kind and helpful. The hotel is located in an area that is walkable with many restaurants, convenience stores and a couple minutes walk to the beach.

Noisy...i mean serious noise from the road from party buses and vehicles day and night. Breakfast was okay. No inner curtain screens despite room facing the road so we couldn't open the drapes. No fridge in room and the hand soap smells like heavy duty institutional cleaner. Bathroom window is barely tinted so you can see into other bathrooms and i assume they can see into yours...wth!
