The property was not what i would expect. I was there for 3 nights, Stained drapery and bedding, Shortage of ass wipe. Asked for a ŕoll, and was told they'd send someone to purchase some. Very loud at night lead to sleeplessness until 01:30, when the bar next door closed. Next to bridge over water, and vehicle noise was horrible. Had to wear a stupid bracelet while there, Not sure why. Its not all inclusive.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros: Great location. Free lobby coffee in morning. Water dispensers on each floor. Pool & rooftop lounge area spacious & nice. Good Happy hour 3-7pm. Beach towels can be checked out. Air conditioner worked great. Clean rooms (clean as much as old decor can be). Good desk staff (but limited English). Cons: Dated hotel & rooms. Washroom sub-par. Water would leak from counter onto floor at both sides of the sink, as well as from base of toilet to the shower (it was indeed in that direction and not the reverse), washroom towels weirdly out of reach of the sink, people would smoke at the pool area & the rooftop lounge area...for a "no smoking" establishment staff either turned a blind eye or didn't care. No in-room safe. Overall: A good budget choice if you prioritize location & plan to make use of the pool. If you don't need a pool then the washroom situation becomes harder to accept. I would come back, but would try a different room & hope the washroom is nicer.
