We needed a place to stay that was close to airport. Lucky to come across this place. It's a hidden gem. Thankful for an air conditioned room. Restaurant had great ambiance, drinks, food, right on the beach. Staff was courteous.

This is a wonderful place on the beach, highly recommend, but avoid the restaurant, extremely expensive (and misleading, you dont get what the menu says).

The hotel has a great beach location and the landscape and grounds are beautiful. They show some wear and tear in areas, but overall it’s great. Pool was beautiful and the sitting areas were beautiful. The food was delicious and the staff was wonderful and friendly. They were a Great staff that made us feel very welcome. BUT, our room had a very distinct foul smell to it. we had to buy air freshener for it, which helped very little. We discovered the shower wouldn’t drain and we often ended up showering in ankle deep backed up pipe, dirty water- which is disgusting! I brought this up to the staff twice but nothing seemed to get done. It was clearly an ongoing issue since the tiles of the showers showed evidence of multiple removals. Some nights we could only get cold water. Some nights we could get just enough water pressure for a shower and one night there was NO water at all in our room. We could only get a couple drops to brush teeth. The next morning we woke up to 10-15 flies in the room. It was the day before we left, so we spent our time outside of the room instead of dealing with that. Our room situation was a major bummer as it was our honeymoon.
