Friendly staff, clean rooms. We stayed in the room with the spa. The room was nice, a bit outdated and the bathroom could do with a reno but for the price, it was fantastic.

Disgusting

I wouldn’t stay again. Carpet wet couldn’t lock sliding door to balcony. Shower leaked onto floor making it wet everywhere. Bedroom had a smell and air conditioner was over bed making it uncomfortable to sleep

Pros: Location is perfect, close to the beach and restaurants. The room is reasonably clean considering its price. Cons: The noise is really bad in the rooms facing the petro station, and the road. This and the soft mattress made my stay very uncomfortable as I personally prefer a firmer mattress.
