The room was clean, so was the rest of the property. The view of the beach during the sunset was gorgeous as well, but for the cost, it’d be nice to have a/c and complimentary water when other hotels offer it for a lower cost. With that being said, me and my wife wouldn’t mind returning one day back here.
