I can't complain about the location, it was close to the beaches and restaurants. But the water from the faucet smells very strange. And we have to use the stairs, the elevator wasn't working well. Not other concerns the price was reasonable.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel room bathroom very clean. Extremely dirty, smelly carpet in room. Dogs allowed in rooms and obviously peed on carpet. Room was extremely damp.
