Great for beach access

Room was spacious and fairly clean with strong AC and amazing water pressure. The pool was really nice, and we regularly saw beautiful parrots fly overhead while we swam. Staff was lovely once you get past the check-in where they were pretty aggressive about selling tours. Restaurant and bar were great, and the breakfast was perfect for an active day. Unfortunately, their policy is to charge $20/hour for late check out, but when the electricity and water went out 3 hours before our check out leaving us without a shower that day, they offered no compensation or extra time to clean ourselves. Really, the only flaw of this place was the reception staff. Otherwise, lovely place!

Personnel was efficient, but a few items need to be addressed. Shower had a very slow drain. I ended up having 2” of standing water. Bathroom sink didn’t have much water coming out of spickit I saw 2 spiders in my room. TV didn’t have any stations that was speaking English. I tried to watch Netflix and Utube. Wouldn’t work.

Had a good time here... the staff was exceptional. Pool was nice and warm but not too warm. Bar and food was enough to not have to leave. It also has its own beach and surfboards to rent, if you surf.

Loved everything about this property. Well worth the money. They will definitely see me again. Service was awesome, food was good, pool was great and right on the ocean was a plus. Free parking on site. Don't let the entrance scare you away. Park your car and let the good times begin. ❤️🇨🇦

Functional, better for young crowd

Super cute hotel right on the beach, the reception woman is the sweetest person and helped us a lot! This would be good for a younger person I think, bar/pool area plays music pretty loud all day and a little late into the night. Definitely some ruckus outside from other guests late. Only other downside is there is no blankets on the beds, it just a sheet. Otherwise, very cute vibes and simple functional rooms

I was not okay with being locked out without someone opening the gates 2 night of the 3 that we were there. The girl at the front was not pleasant but all of the other staff was super kind. There were no blankets, just 1 sheet to sleep with. A lizard was in our room. No elevators or help to get our bags up to our room. The bar closed before 9pm. I usually leave good reviews but I can’t for this place. If I had not paid up front, I would have stayed somewhere else.
