Had the best time at this beachside hotel. Very quaint with only a handful of rooms that are all steps to the ocean. The food was fabulous and the area was safe and walkable to other fabulous restaurants. Coco was our favourite beach, calm waves, beautiful sandy swimmable ocean! And best of all no one trying to sell you crap on the beach! Very walkable beach, we loved everything

Location was perfect however the quality of the premises was not good. We don’t expect a 5 star experience for this price but this hotel could certainly use upgrades. Shower and hot water was very hit and miss, some showers had near zero water pressure. Just overall a very tired property with seemingly no reinvestment into it

The room was basic needs. No hair dryer or conditioner for instance. One of the staff members was amazing and brought me one from her house.! The area around doesn’t look that great. However, once you enter the gate, you feel in a cozy yard the fact that is on the beach with a beach café is awesome. You have the best access.
