Room was clean, bed was nice but there was a strange odor in the room. The in room coffee pot still had foul smelling water in it so I went elsewhere to obtain coffee. The shower head needed cleaning to improve the flow. Otherwise staff was ver helpful and welcoming. The decor is very appropriate and location is supurb.

Expedia misrepresented the room being rented. It was not on the beach and was not nice at all. Dirty floor made your feet black. Bugs in the room bathroom not cleaned after last guest. I blame expedia mostly for misrepresentation.

Run down wreck. Tv is impossible to turn on, even the staff couldn’t figure it out! Then at arrival, they demanded $18. More than the Expedia rate. Or you can’t stay. The wall plugs to charge your phone, half didn’t work No screens on the windows, anyone could climb through and steal you blind No A/C No staff on site when you need staff. Just a nightmare I’m only 71 yrs old, traveled the world. Perhaps there is a worse place to stay. For now, this is number one.
