Had a great stay at fawlty towers. The room had aircondition and mosqito net. It was a basic room but was clean and with a comfortable bed. A big outdoor area, kind of like a little park and with a pool, bar and restaurant. The staff was very nice and helpfull. Location was very central with a small shopping center across the street. Bars and restaurants were walking distance, althoug its recomended to take a taxi at night. Highly recomendable.
