Everything was good about the property but it could stand for a renovation to bring to a more upto date facility, but it was still good. I will definitely be booking my next stay there.

Even though an older hotel, it was nice with a private beach with chairs, umbrellas, water, and towels provided. 😀
Colette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful vacation

We had a room looking over the pool and surprising it was very quiet . The food at the restaurant and tiki bar was very good. They have chairs and unbrellas they put out every day with no charge and if there isnt enough they put out more. The gift shop was very bare. Its a beautiful hotel right on the beach everything and more you could possibly want for a winderful vacation.

Vacation stat

Motel is older than pictures show. It was ok for the price.
Angel, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property should be demolished, too old , you feel you are in a cheaper motel, facing the beach but no worthy, I could stay just first night out of 3, i heard one room had a leaking roof when raining, could be good for you but definitely not for me. Staff super nice.
Lazaro, 3-night trip
