This is a property that is well located but the front desk is manned very infrequently. When it is manned the folks there are very accommodating and friendly. But, when you have problems, as we did, with our door lock or something else, you talk to an answering service. This means some time standing outside your room door waiting for someone to come from off property to open the door for you. Since there is no phone in the room, apparently a cost saving for the property owner, you'd better have a working cell phone to use in emergencies or to call the front desk where you'll be talking to the answering service. If you want friendly, but unavailable customer service, this is the property for you.

Place looked real sketchy although the rooms were pretty decent. Got bit up by bed bugs. Only plus is that it's a cheap price and down the street from the beach and good restaurants.

First room lacked any furniture, other than the bed and the TV - no desk, no couch, no armchairs. I asked and got another room of the same size but with a couch and a desk, but the next day hot water broke, so I had to move rooms again, this time to a different building. There, again only one room out of 10 we looked at had a desk, which is the one I picked. In the room where hot water stopped working, the shower faucet was difficult to operate, it was next to impossible to completely shut the water off. The shower head in all rooms is this "square" design, which only pours water down and makes it difficult to take a proper shower. On the upside, the service was OK, Wifi was fast and reliable, and they have amenities like pool and gym and plenty of parking (which is $10/day).

we stayed on a day pass waiting for a flight and was quite pleased at the price. the pool was well cared for and clean, only 1/2 block from the beach. think of doing a vacation here.The staff is amazing. Bar was great.

Other then the location I wouldn't recommend! No hot water! The toilet seat was broken had to be held down when using the bathroom. Not to mention checked in for a wedding. Check in is at 3 we got there at 230 told them room would be ready in 10 mins! Room wasn't ready till 345, which wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't have a wedding to get ready for with 15 mins to spare! When I asked why the rooms aren't all ready at 3 she said because people like to check out late and the house keeping doesn't speak English??? That's not an answer! It's fine they can't do early check in but to make us wait 1 hour and make us late for wedding is ridiculous! We had the biggest room the one bedroom suite the floors have burn marks in them! Management really needs to get on top of things! Will stick to brand name hotels moving forward.

Good place but quiet

Booked this resort for spring break and it was exactly what we needed. Location was great - close walking distance to beach, markets, bars, and restaurants. Rooms had everything you needed including a roku in each room with netflix, hulu, etc. However, the front desk staff was unwelcoming and we had a few dirty linens on arrival.

Booked through Chase Rewards and wish I would have read yelp before. If you want the cheapest place to serve as a base to party from near the beach this might be for you. Otherwise you will be disappointed. The property isn't secured at all, anyone can wander in and out. The bathroom has no privacy. Aside from the small room with the toilet and shower the area with the sink has large open windows without blinds so don't be bashful. Towels were dollar store quality and the bed was very uncomfortable and we sank to the middle of the beat down mattress. No coffee anywhere on the property in the morning! There is a great place right down the street where you can have breakfast. Front desk staff was very creepy and not helpful. Stay away from this place!

The place was decent but the guy in the office with the glasses has terrible customer service skills . Other guests were also mentioning it around the pool . Maybe the management really needs to take a closer look at this because he has no hospitality skills for running a hotel !

We were very pleased with the room.

Food was great, would definitely recommend the croquettes! The staff and Juan, the owner, were personable and welcoming! Music was upbeat and atmosphere was clean and inviting! 5+ stars!

I'm giving them 2 stars due to the location which is great. Everything else was terrible. No 24/7 staffed front desk as advertised. Room is bland and depressing. Bathroom has nowhere to put your toiletries, pedestal sink and no shelves. (I had to put my stuff on the toilet when getting ready). No cable or satellite TV (so no networks tv or news and no local channels) No phone system in the room to reach someone. Limited staff. No hot water ( Had to wait 15 minutes for hot water in shower). No elevator. Gates have locks but they don't work. Towels were like rags. They don't even have "do not disturb" signs. And a $10 resort fee that includes ?. Someone yelped you get what you paid for. I Wish I would have gotten half of what I paid for. $225 a night for a room and properly that was worse than a Motel 6. Resort and Spa?? Please.

We stayed for ONE night and had absolutely NO POWER. This is unacceptable. You literally get what you pay for with this place. I've never stayed in a hotel where the power went out for no apparent reason and everywhere around still had power??? Rooms were ok, not great, just ok. Overall, we have a very mediocre experience.
