The room was worn and needed to be painted and a few repairs done. This was true of the whole hotel, which is looking tired. We had a noticeable sewage smell in our bathroom throughout the stay. The pool is large and quite nice, and the beachfront bar and chairs are great. It's on the nicest end of the beach, in my opinion. But some tlc to the hotel and grounds would be of benefit.

Our stay was great! Rooms and hotel overall are very clean. The staff is so friendly and always willing to make your stay the best. The food is incredible!! Important to mention that in the creek between the parking lot and rooms, there lives an 8-10 feet crocodile, the hotel staff stated that it lives there and that they have never had any problems, there is no way it can get to the actual hotel, but it is important to mention so you are not shocked in case you see it.

Loved the location! Beach is awesome. This is a nice quiet place to stay. By 9pm it’s very quiet and chill. The rooms are clean however the beds and pillows aren’t the best but honestly the location and price made up for it. Our room was clean and the perfect size we were right next to the restaurant kitchen and it did get noisy there starting at 5am so I recommend a room further away but really this property is a gem!

Warning about the rundown rooms.. Plumbing issues in bathroom (constant water pipe sounds), all lights & power outlets don't work. The structure of the room looks broken down. I had a friend visit me and the staff went from telling me she just can't go in the room, then harrasing us when chilling by the bar, by the pool, then comparing her to prostitues and being very disrespectful. The only good was the location (beach front), nice bar & restaurant on the property.
