Upon arrival, our room was sold a second time, I heard that there is no room where we paid for a delux room. Not nice service, no contact with the management or the owner, I did not even hear sorry. I had to look for another hotel ...!

The facilities were absolutely horrible. The rooms were dark and dingy. My took my family and looked for a new hotel immediately. The staff, however, was very friendly, and the food service was OK. I would definitely never go back or recommend it to someone else.

I enjoyed the direct access to the beach and the food was good and the staff went out of their way to accommodate. The negative was the old dingy facilities with bad wifi service. Probably would not repeat.
