Beware beach access opens at 11 AM and closes at 6 PM. You eat breakfast behind a cage looking at the beach if you like to party and enjoy yourself this is not the place besides it’s outdated.

The hotel is nice but they need to do more with the facilities. There are no kini fridges in the rooms so is an inconvenient for guest that need to keep medications cold. Granted they allow to store them in the restaurant's fridge but then you are at the mercy of the hours of operations.
The restaurant's is nice and right on the beach.

Exactly want we needed and wanted.
As close to the beach as possible.
Private lounging area at the beach
Big enough pool for cooling off
Great, quiet A/C and comfortable bed and room.
So close the the main shopping and dining streets

The hotel is centrally located, just steps away from the beach, shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Everything is within walking distance, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. The staff was helpful and courteous, and the room was clean. While the room lacked a coffee maker and a fridge, it’s a minor detail considering the affordable price. The breakfast is simple but just what you need to start the day, coffee was great!

The property was simple, but you walkout directly onto the beach. Right off of 5th Av so you can access everything quickly. It’s relatively quiet, so you go to the party and also leave the party. Beach Staff are absolutely amazing.

People were nice but one of the girls working in the beach club wanted an extra tip, which I think was rude. The breakfast offered only eggs and extra sugary French bread. The only thing good was fruiti. The hotel is old and it doesn't look clean, everything is stained and old. It looks like they don't do anything to remodel or make it somewhat better. But the good thing is that we had our room cleaned every day and given clean towels and had our sheets changed one time.
This is unrelated to a hotel, but there was sea weed all over the beach and it produced a horrible stench.

Staff was very helpful. Our room had no hot water and the room was full of mold. Very dirty. They had us by the beach and the pool are. Everyone from the beach kept come by our room. Because they thought it was the restroom. Very disappointed

We paid for a room with more space, two beds and ocean view. The ocean view was completely blocked the glass was extra dirty. They moved us to a smaller room, one bed and no balcony. If we canceled we wouldnt get the full refund due to their policies. It was a complete rip off. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. We had to park blocks away because they didnt have any parking nearby. I think the only partially good thing was the Mexican scrambled eggs.

I never write reviews but this time I have to.Terrible hotel, air conditioning didn’t work and we complained twice and finally changed our room. It rained at night and the roof was leaking and in the morning the floor was full of water and all of our clothes in the closet were soaking wet. Don’t stay there.

After reading some of the reviews we were considering cancelling but I’m sure glad we didn’t! Check in was easy, the room was simple but had everything we needed and most importantly had a terrific view and great air conditioning! We were 2nd floor beach front and wow what a way to start the day!!! The hotel was a little noisy at night (but not the hotel itself, it was from a nearby beach volleyball tournament and locals playing boom boxes on the beach haha). I’d say it was reliably quiet from 11:00pm-7:00am which was pretty much our normal sleep schedule so no issue for us. If I had my young kid and baby on the trip it would have been a problem however we didn’t so was a great hotel! Great location, walkable everywhere and safe. Free breakfast was a hot egg or French toast breakfast with coffee and was right on the beach patio. Not a five star hotel but for the price i would definitely recommend!!
