Always a good choice, if you like it quiet, safe and clean. Breakfast could be better, more versatile (fruits, fresh coffee ...).

This is my second time staying. I really enjoy the place. Its very peaceful and the staff is excellent. Please see my list of pros and cons: Pros: Great price, you get a kitchen , bedroom, livingroom, bathroom and large balcony. The staff is excellent. It's peaceful. The pool is wonderful. Breakfast buffet is ok with a good variety. I didnt eat lunch or dinner there. Cons: Internet doesnt really work in the rooms. You have to go to the lobby or poolside. Both times i stayed the air conditioning wasnt working in the room and i ended up having to move to another room. I had been traveling all day and already unpacked so it was an issue. Also there is only one air conditioner in the bedroom so the rest of the rooms stay very hot. There tend to be aot of monkeys and flies when eating.
