Worn Out

Check-in guy was on his phone the whole time. Zero customer focused. The best description would be just plain 'worn out'. Breakfast is limited. As an example, a second cup of coffee is $3. U.S. Plain chicken dinner is $20. I recommend 5 minute walk to Beach Break Resort. Big room for $25. less per night. Another 5 minute walk to $6.50 chicken dinner

This hotel is a gem.

Perfect place for a family in this somewhat young, single tourist beach town. The beach down here is sandy and more toward the north has a lot of rock, so very happy with the location. Casually set up a surf lesson with the company right outside the hotel. The hotel had a lot of beautiful plants throughout the rooms. It was old school, but in the best possible way. This is my ideal kind of hotel.

Due to Mother Nature we missed our connecting flight to get to this hotel. Allegedly Expedia contacted the property to request a refund for my room as there was as nothing I could do. The first time I called the hotel they said okay just have Expedia contact us. Expedia drug it out for days and now the hotel does not want to give me a refund. This probably would have been a good hotel to experience but due to the circumstance put a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe not so much on them and more on Expedia not sure but very frustrating.

The beach area was magnificent! But the outside of the hotel looks low quality. The bathroom feels and looks almost like a prison, the ceiling had black mold and the paint was chipping bad near the a/c unit.
