The hotel offers a clean and comfortable environment with a nice swimming pool and a lovely restaurant and bar area serving marvellous food at reasonable prices. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making my stay enjoyable. However, the beach area was a bit disappointing with murky water and trash, and the hotel could use some updates as it felt a bit dated in places.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with a lot to offer, including clean and comfortable rooms and great service from the staff. The location is quite nice, right next to the beach, but unfortunately, the beach itself is marred by plastic pollution. The dining experience was a bit of a hit and miss, particularly with the vegetarian options. Overall, it was a good choice for relaxation, with excellent pool facilities, yet there's room for improvement in the dining department.

The hotel provided an overall enjoyable experience with wonderful owners and a quiet atmosphere. The price is very reasonable, and the local dining options are a steal at just a couple of dollars. However, the beach was muddy during low tide, and lack of coffee makers in the rooms was a bit of an inconvenience for early risers like myself.
