The location is great …walking distance to the beach, pier, stores and restaurants..the rooms are spacious and varandas are also a great size.. pool is cozy and clean.. the food at the restaurant could have a better tasty, it’s pricey and they take quite a long time to bring your food ..I would recommend other local restaurants instead.. but in general we would recommend this hotel.

El hotel no está mal si sólo buscas algo para dormir. No tiene nada extra cómo bar, restaurantes o alguna actividad. Sólo es para bañarte y dormir. Los parques muy limitados. Si sales en la noche al regresar después de las 10 no encontrarás dónde estacionar. Es un gran problema. Todo tienes qué buscarlo afuera. La habitación si está muy espaciosa y es ideal para familias porque cuenta con su cocina. Buena limpieza
