The hotel is outdated but very clean, and the pool and beach are clean. Everyday room service, a big room, a small free bottle of water daily, towels and shampoo, and a nice restaurant. What I don't like is that there are stray dogs on the beach; there is not enough information about what to bring or what is allowed to bring, as some guests have their own BBQ and chairs and an umbrella. the Hotel is very close to downtown. ##### Karoline Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was great!
