Una buena opción. Pero solo 2 cosas: 1-Se escucha el ruido de las habitaciones continuas. 2- El inodoro están como arruinados. Pero de ahí en todo lo demás muy bien. Ubicación. Seguridad, accesibilidad y cerca de la playa.

Disliked: Amenities
Upon arrival, we discovered our room was dirty. The sheets were stained and the floor had not been cleaned properly. We reported the condition of the room and were “upgraded” to a room that was also unclean. Sheets stained. They had blankets in plastic bags that did not smell well. The bathroom floor flooded every time we tried to shower. The couch had stains all over. I couldn’t even sit on it at all during my stay.
