Overall the property was nice. If you do stay there make sure to take a mosquito repellent. I think if the property had a few mosquito zappers it would really help

The place is undergoing renovation, not dirty but still need improvements. The room was spacious as it was the restroom. The food was great, no complaints, the service was excellent in every-way, the staff was very eager to assist in every-way possible. I would recommend this place and will return for sure, maybe next time they are complete with the renovations. Cheers..
