Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located very near an airport, in the center, and close to the beaches, offering a great beach area. The rooms, although they hadn't been remodeled, were adequately comfortable and provided for nice long hot showers. The service was pleasant and included a thoughtful gesture of a welcome drink. However, the dining experience, although offered WiFi, was lacking in variety such as butter. The location is superb with easy access to the airport and close proximity to the beach.
The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and a 24/7 convenience store, making it a practical choice for travelers. The rooms, while not recently remodeled, offer nice long hot showers, but the fact that they are only spray painted may affect the overall impression. The service includes laundry options and a welcome drink, adding a touch of hospitality. The dining experience, offering Neapolitan pizza and WiFi, is satisfactory. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's advantageous location compensates for any minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms seemed not to have been remodeled and just spray-painted, but they did offer a nice setting for long hot showers with comfortable beds. The service provided, including laundry and a welcome drink, was satisfactory. The location was convenient being in the center with easy access to the beach and the 41 Tiki Bar right out front of the restaurant. Facilities were decent overall.
