Everything was super clean! The staff was extremely sweet and kind!! Also, breakfast was included which was a huge plus :) only thing was that there was no hot water - it was a bit colder than room temp. Then the following day, there was something wrong with the pump everywhere so the water was coming out brown and the toilets weren’t working so basically you were very limited with resources.

First of all I didn't have additional sheet to cover, if I turned on ac I'm too cold if I turned it off I'm too hot. No one speaks English on the property. The breakfast is mediocre. There's no hot water available, no iron, no ice, no microwave. This is it! I'm not complaining just thought this would be mentioned to others who planned to visit. Great view from the room with the glass door, Netflix available, and close to the beach walking distance. Safe area
