When we arrived our room was not locked. There were stains on the sheets and on the blanket was dirty. Like they just made the bed without changing bedding. The bathroom had mole in the ceiling. definitely a very unpleasant stay. And we paid close to $200. Total mistake. Do not stay here.

Everything was perfect especially being able to walk 3 minutes to the beach. Everything is in walking distance , stores , restaurants, etc. We were able to rent bikes free of charge and ride around the beach and explore more . The only issue for me was the WiFi, I wasn’t able to connect it to my PS5. That’s not really a big issue tho. I do wish there was a better toilet that flushes better.
