Perfect location. Easily walk to beach and the restaurants and bars. Impeccably clean rooms, 2 pools and the most friendly and accommodating staff that you can imagine! Alba and her husband are wonderful. I’d never stay any where else in the area.

The blue strawberry gets an A for cleanliness and a C- for antiquated rooms. The cabinets in the kitchenette were from the 1050’s. Overall, the whole hotel is in need of a complete renovation! The air conditioning was as loud as a freight train, so loud that you could barely hear the TV. The pool gunite needs to be stripped and refinished as it’s flaking off in the pool.

Thank goodness I was there for the fellowship with my dear friend, beach time & good food! My 1st room was cleaned just before I entered and I found dark hair in a few areas of the bathroom. The bathroom window had a torn screen big enough for an arm to fit through. I took pics in disbelief! And I was unable to lock it securely. I was on the 1st floor. My room key/card was unreliable and I was locked out. The office was notified of my concerns and ultimately gave me a different room. Better room with kitchenette upgrade for no extra fee, but still on 1st floor and I couldn’t see out of the peephole. I had the do not disturb sign on the outside side of my door and house keeping entered anyway and took one of my personal towels out! What?! I did again notify the office and my towel was retrieved. Would not go back or recommend.
