It was a good hotel with a delicious restaurant and really great people. The only thing that frustrated me was that we bought an all-inclusive package but we were charged an “amenity fee”… that’s always super frustrating.

The entire property was very clean and had been renovated about a year ago. Really fun and wonderful stay. Be prepared there is no elevator and if you’re on the third floor, it can be a bit of a climb. Also if it’s during a hot spell, they have only a small air-conditioning unit in the room. Great location and a very cool and vibey restaurant on property.
