We arrived before checkin time but assumed we’d sit poolside if our room wasn’t ready. We weren’t sure where to check in since the front building had no signage. We asked at the bar and they were able to check us in early

Nice cafe/ beachfront, that’s about. Rooms reminded me of a worn out Super 8 motel in the US. Second night there was , not only booming bass music from the hotel, but from some place Nextdoor/ and it went on until 3 in the morning. None of the guest could sleep. Recliners on beach are broken, no chairs luggage racks or hook to hang wet clothing from. Shower was terrible (plumbing, fixtures and pressure). Could not wait to check out. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Oh, and way overpriced for what you get. Website indicated laundry, they do not.

The patio is amazing!! Staff were awesome. And the hotel is at the end of the beach which I was told by the locals Is so much better because it's cleaner and the run off from the town is way on the other side. Quiet, clean, great service. Recommend.

Our room was a little tired. Handle fell off in the shower, toilet leaks, large gaps in the door that i stuffed plastic bags into trying to keep cockroaches out. Found 3 in our room in the one night stay. The property is nice and the staff are very friendly. We never ate here, but paid 32USD for 2 pina coladas.

This place is very cute with its central pool and seating/hammocks. The beach restaurant is quaint and has great seating options and loungers. The staff is super nice and friendly! That said the room seemed clean but smelled strongly like a urinal cake/clenser. The shower was meh clean and I woke up to a big dead roach by my shoes. The walkway placement makes it noisy and people were loud as was the rolling of the cleaning crew cart right outside our door. That said, we only stayed one night and it was good.

First off, if you don’t read any further, just know this is an incredible property with only a handful of rooms and a few steps to the beach. The dining area is overlooking the waves and every staff member goes out of their way to make your vacation memorable. That being said, here were the surprises. Nothing that’s a dealbreaker, but just unexpected. There are less than 10 rooms for the entire property, so the guest noise is quite minimal. That said, the rooms literally exit into the dining area. You can be woken in the morning to the sound of chairs, tables, and silverware moving. If you open your curtain, you will be face to face with employees or others eating. The walk along the beach from the hotel to the Main Street is a gorgeous start to every morning. Overall, we are quite happy we stayed here.
