We will definitely return, we had a great time.
Pros:

Great location close to bars and restaurants, a short walk to the beach and a nice pool area.
The beds were really comfortable and the rooms were spotlessly clean.

Cons:

The only issue was, the dining room got very busy at certain times for breakfast, which to us was not really a problem, we found to go later was less busy, with more tables available.
