DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. False advertising. The place is dirty and ill maintained. They refused to refund us as we refused to stay there. Disgusting pool and does not appear as advertised

Very small hotel only 14 rooms, so don't expect a lot of people around. Extremely limited bar drinks options, as well as the breakfast food options. Shower didn't have enough pressure in my second floor room. Rooms very clean and well presented and AC worked well.

This is a cute old hotel complex that is right on the beach. They have a neat restaurant overlooking the beach from a platform.

Property was good and good location on beach and near the airport. Only issue was I was given the lobby WI-FI password which only worked in the lobby area. I later found out there is another WI-FI that works in my room and common areas. Also the restaurant was very lacking of many of the items I tried to order. Perhaps it was just a bad time and they had not gotten supplies in.
