The hotel is really nice and located in a fantastic area. For the price you pay it's definitely worth the stay here. The room was a decent size and everything was functional. Breakfast is included but we never made it in time. The staff are also incredible and very helpful. They are there 24/7 in case you have a late check in. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing hotel & staff! Beautiful building & perfect location. Right opposite McDonald's & a fantastic party bus to pick us up on the corner. No iron in the room but a 2 minute walk from the beach so great for us. The only place we will stay on our next vist. No complaints at all.
