Other than an unusual smell in the room, it’s everything you need, steps to the beach, with a great restaurant on site at a very affordable price.
It’s a simple room in great surroundings
Property is located steps from the beach, no street to cross. Parking was easy. Ten minute walk to town center. Close to restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
Convenient location, and a private path to the beach. But no one at front desk when trying to check out at 8am, the toilet in our room was really dirty. You’re right on the Main Street so it can get noisy but that’s to be expected.

The accomodations were okay. The room was clean but basic and small for 3 people. Beds were not very comfortable. We only stayed one night so it was fine. Our room was on the street side and it was very noisy with traffic at all hours, even through the night.
The staff was friendly and the restaurant downstairs was very lovely and a good place to sit near the beach and watch the animals in the trees. We saw 3 monkeys just hanging out in one tree and a huge iguana resting in another tree just above us.
Ok... So the access to the beach was nice. Sadly it's ridiculously hot in the back as there is no airflow near the building. The room was highly disappointing. Nothing like pictures. Mold in bathroom and main room. Dead bugs squished on walls. No cups in room for water or anything. Shower was horrible most of the time as hot water was non existent at first, then excruciating the next day and could not get it to cool down at all. There was a used toothpick under the bedsheet. The towels especially and blanket on the bed were rags. Had 1 face cloth for the entire week we stayed. Parking was precarious and sketchy right on the road. One couple that started 2 nights next to us had money stolen from them their last night. Crazy dogs next door (possible the owners dogs) woke us up every morning but the last one before 6am. The locks on the doors of the rooms are terrible to operate and I had to help a couple other guests get there's to lock since I figured out mine after 2 days being frustrated with it. We did not see the sheets changed between guests in either room next to ours and the guests changed almost every day. The restaurant next door, which is NOT PART OF THE HOTEL, does play music until 10 or 11pm, but they were very nice and have great service and amazing food. They informed us that the hotel is being bought by another hotel owner and there are plans to clean up and renovate the current hotel and premises.
I recommend that people only stay here if you have to.

Decent value for the money. Beach is excellent. Clean but very basic. A coffee machine would really help as there is no sign of life until the restaurant opens later in the day.

We stayed in suite #12 and had a great ocean view. I think the view would have been better in room #11 as it seemed they didnt have as many trees blocking the view. The room had a nice size bathroom with shower that had hot water and pressure as long as they qerent watering plants outside. The room came with a safe, fridge and giant balcony with table and two chairs plus some floor pillows. The linens were stained and ripped but clean and comfortable. Towels need to be updated or have those available to bring to the beach. LOTS of ants, if you plan on keeping food in your room make sure to bring ziploc baggies to keep the ants out. The Red Dor Restaurant downstairs adds such a cool vibe to staying on the balcony which was one of our favorite things to do after sunset. Also lots of iguanas and saw monkeys almost daily. If they updated their linens I would give this facility 4 stars but currently its more of a 3 star hotel with the location and the restaurant downstairs adding in that 3rd star. Easy to walk to downtown/beach pr grab an uber and go. This hotel is on the nice sandy, private end of the beach which is a giant bonus.
