This hotel is great for families, as there are many "Family Duplex" rooms available. They are as big as an apartment, quiet, and clean!
The hotel website says there are two pools, and there are - but one is very small and shallow, in a courtyard. The other pool is beautiful, about 4 ft deep throughout, with a sectioned off part that is very shallow for small children. There are many day beds around the pool. Both pools close at 6pm.
The hotel has a private beach access, although the beach isn't that great. Horses travel up and down the beach offering tourists a chance to ride, but dirtying the sand and making it inadequate for sunbathing. The ocean has many jellyfish, making it not a good place to play in the water.
The hotel's website also boasts two restaurants and a pool bar. One restaurant is only open for the breakfast buffet. The other restaurant only has pizza and sandwiches, and it closes at 6pm. The pool bar has terrible coffee, overpriced soft drinks, and alcoholic drinks. It also closes at 6pm.
There are taxis that wait across the road from the hotel and have cheap, fixed prices to take guests into town. There is also the option of walking five minutes out to the bigger road and waiting for public transportation into town.
On the weekends, the Cicada market is open and just a five minute walk from the hotel. Stalls sell handcrafted souvenirs, and there are many food stalls.
