Beautiful hotel with a pool right on the beach. Was mostly young people so we felt a bit old! No beach chairs and such. The staff was amazing and very helpful in every way!

Farzan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Positives: Very close to the downtown area, where all the shops and restaurants are. Located on the beach, so it's just a short walk away. Has a bar and a restaurant. Includes a small pool. The room has a fridge, and the AC works great. Negatives: Small parking lot. Very small rooms that are dirty (spider webs and flies inside). Bed sheets and towels have stains. No hot water. Their dryer broke, so we went without fresh towels for two days. Overall: If you want to stay close to the beach and downtown, this is a good option. However, if you're looking for luxury and amenities, this is not the place for you. Lastly, room service is offered but they don't do a great job.
