10/10 Excellent
"We had a great experience At Beachside Hotel. We were welcomed by friendly Julian. He gave us some recommendations of restaurants and what we could before the everything shut down. The rooms were cozy, clean, and beds were comfortable. We were close to the pool but unfortunately we didn’t go swimming. The pool was well maintained. There was staff on the premises that constantly were maintaining property."
