All the staff members are great, very friendly and their service is excellent. The access to the beach is not very nice. The floor halls to access the rooms was is bad condition, there was a door with access to a closet or room and it was not finished, giving a bad impression. The room was excellent, good size, good bed and amenities.

I don’t like how they don’t explain things to guests till after you check in ! They never mentioned that the fridge in the room was an extra cost. Being a guest you’ll think it’s complimentary. After checking out for 3 nights they gave us a fee or 50 saying we open and ate all the thing's in the fridge. It was 2 guest me and my friend, which is crazy. We were barely in the room. They are very hungry and wanted to argue with us about the price instead of satisfying GUEST they argue. Very unprofessional. We almost missed our flight because they wanted to argue and throw a price at us that we WEREN'T going to pay.

It was the worst experience of choosing this hotel, I’ve been texting with them the day before my trip, they was asking what time I will make it there, when I get there at 10:00 pm, my room wasn’t ready on time and the bed was dirty so they had to changed my room three time until I get something better but small.
