The rooms were only average, though the hotel has a nice view of the beach.

This was the cheapest hotel I could find, but there were problems on several fronts. The shower enclosure leaked and left the whole bathroom floor wet, and the AC vibrated loudly enough to make sleeping difficult. They also hadn’t left any towels. When I asked, they brought just one towel for everything, literally.

I was woken by water dripping from the ceiling onto my face, and some of it was even coming through the lightbulbs. My pillow had someone else’s makeup on it, there was hair on the bed, and the room was dirty. There were no towels, the sink looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in well over a year, and the walls were peeling. The AC was loud; when I asked what could be done, they just blamed the humidity. There didn’t seem to be a maintenance team. An absolute nightmare, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

The room wasn’t good. I’d only choose it in an emergency or if no other rooms were available.
