Hotel is right in the beach. Rooms don’t have air conditioning. Limited menu items at the restaurant. Left the sliding room door open at night and several flies of some kind came in and bit my wife at night. Okay property if just staying for one night.

Overpriced in a tourist ripoff area
The rooms are very expensive for what they are, are dated and need a revamp. Cobwebs abound and mould on the old curtains. Avoid this place
