The hotel itself is great. The area of town where its located is not the best and pretty far from the beach.

The hotel is decent, but the beds are way too soft. The rooms need to be aired out cause of a muggy stale smell in them. They have no ice buckets, to get ice, so if you need to get ice, you have to bring a tray from your own fridge in the room.
