"Close to the beach with some parking. Not sure how it would work during the season as there were only 5 parking spots for 30 rooms. Cookies and cereal in the morning but I was not expecting any breakfast. The room was small but good enough for what we needed."
"La propiedad estaba bien ,solo que ala recámara sencilla le hace falta la cafetera para el café.
Y asegurarse que si sean las cosas como dicen ,que solo clientes pueden utilizar los servicios del hotel incluyendo la alberca ,tuve la experiencia de convivir con un familiar de (la dueña)
Pero la experiencia no fue muy grata ya que ubo falta de respeto ,pero deja do de un lado eso , todo estuvo bien :)"
"I'm sure in it's prime the hotel was amazing. Beautiful views, beach front access. Now, it's run down and beat up. Doors don't close or lock properly. Shower drains dont drain. Pool doesn't look like it's been clean in a while. The staff was what made it a positive experience."
