Rustic room, beach view

We planned this location to celebrate our 20th anniversary because it was right on the beach. The location was perfect, walking distance to Coco about 1/5 mile, right on the beach, and walking distance to several restaurants. It does not have any breakfast available, but the ladies in the morning are happy to refill the coffee for coffee service in the room. The air conditioning worked great in the room and the bed was comfortable. There was a refrigerator to keep a few things and when asked for water and ice, the restaurant staff was very helpful. The pool was also very clean even though it was older. This could be a cute little boutique hotel with a few improvements in the rooms and bathroom. We had hot water in the shower, the door didn't shut but no hot water in the sink. And the lighting was non existent in the bathroom. There was no way for my husband to shave at the sink. The other thing is we never ate at the restaurant. It was fairly expensive even compared to others. We had a few drinks and those were very expensive also. They did have a good selection of alcohol. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful, but had a lot of down time. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed ourselves. The staff was wonderful. All of the outside areas were always neat and tidy and well kept.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful. They made us feel like we were right at home. I would recommend renting a car at the airport so you are able to explore the town, hit the local shops and enjoy the various restaurants.

Being ocean front was wonderful, and the restaurant and beach front area were well taken care of. However, the room was outdated, and the pool wasn't well maintained.

Small boutique hotel. The restaurant is right on the beach. The rooms are a little plain, but functional. The food, although pricey, was good quality. Amenities right down the street. Priced right for the neighborhood. The staff was very friendly

Good location and view …that’s it

The male staff and female owner/manager were kind and helpful. The younger women that worked there were not, they just stared at me. The view of the beach and location was the reason I booked and that was great! The food was overpriced and not that tasty. 2 drinks, appetizer and coconut shrimp was $106 USD! There should be a curfew for kids in the pool, there were plenty noisy kids in the pool very late at night.

Wish we had more days there. It was a last night stay and we booked it sight unseen. A wonderful stay with super clean rooms, plenty of towels, excellent restaurant and plenty of lounge chairs for the beach. Great atmosphere . Safe walking on beach and to shops. Would love to go back. Excellent quality for the money.

We arrived before checkin time but assumed we’d sit poolside if our room wasn’t ready. We weren’t sure where to check in since the front building had no signage. We asked at the bar and they were able to check us in early

Nice cafe/ beachfront, that’s about. Rooms reminded me of a worn out Super 8 motel in the US. Second night there was , not only booming bass music from the hotel, but from some place Nextdoor/ and it went on until 3 in the morning. None of the guest could sleep. Recliners on beach are broken, no chairs luggage racks or hook to hang wet clothing from. Shower was terrible (plumbing, fixtures and pressure). Could not wait to check out. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Oh, and way overpriced for what you get. Website indicated laundry, they do not.

The patio is amazing!! Staff were awesome. And the hotel is at the end of the beach which I was told by the locals Is so much better because it's cleaner and the run off from the town is way on the other side. Quiet, clean, great service. Recommend.

Our room was a little tired. Handle fell off in the shower, toilet leaks, large gaps in the door that i stuffed plastic bags into trying to keep cockroaches out. Found 3 in our room in the one night stay. The property is nice and the staff are very friendly. We never ate here, but paid 32USD for 2 pina coladas.
