9.2/10 Wonderful! (345 reviews)
Well… I was there 2 weeks and The staff A+. Helpful and sweet. The bed A+ in comfort D- sheets. Sweating all night, but that is partly due to them shutting the ac off in the middle of the night. You can turn it back on but that means I woke up every night after 3:30 literally soaked, wet bed sheets and all to turn it back on. So 💩 sleep. The beach was piled with seaweed, I could have gotten over that if maybe the pool had more privacy. At 1st glance you will be impressed but upon examination it was semi- dilapidated. Stains on the white curtains, buckling patio boards. Etc. which again I could have overlooked if not for the ac and lack of warm water. Daily cold showers really blow. The water was not even on when I 1 st arrived, that took a few hours and by then I missed the activity I was going to. Messed up my whole 1 st day. 🚕 are starting at 35 usd just to go anywhere at all. So rent a car or ya… oh and food takes forever and is mostly mid for the price but I only tried a couple things. Oh and this is petty but a man definitely designed this space. No bidet, no removable shower head and 💩 lighting for vanity. So ya in all, I feel catfished. This is not whatever stars it claims. I feel bad telling the truth bc staff was so nice but ya. For like 120 less a night I would have been like ok ya.
