Pros:

Ubicación buena cercacdel centro , supermercado

Cons:

La cocina tenía muy pocos implementos, lo que dificultó cocinar durante la estadía ( accesoriosde cocina ). Además, cuando llovió entró agua a la habitación y al baño. En general, el hotel da la impresión de que necesita más mantenimiento y dedicación para que la experiencia de los huéspedes sea más cómoda.

Cons:

No pude disfrutar de mis vacaciones, fue tal la desilusión que tuvimos que irnos del hotel.
El aire acondicionado no funcionaba bien , el tv no servía el agua del baño se enpozaba. Definitivamente para nunca más volver El muchacho de la recepción fue amable, pero la dueña o encargada no dio la oportunidad de cambio de habitación y la única solución era que nos hacia la devolución, pero aún no echo el reintegro de mi dinero. Y obviamente tuvimos que quedarnos una noche porque cuando llegamos ya eran casi las 8 de la noche y al dia siguiente teníamos que salir a las 11:00 De la mañana.

Great location, friendly staff, clean property
Pros:

Location makes this hotel awesome, park your car and walk anywhere in the town, only need the car to tour the neighboring towns. Walk out from the lobby, cross the street in you are on the beach, very cool location. Coffee all day available, the kitchen makes it easy to bring home leftovers, cook breakfast if you wish, full size fridge in unit.

Cons:

The bathroom has hot water, it is usable and clean but it could use a little TLC. On our units window, half of it was covered by the adjacent cabin/villa, not pretty to look at, Overall for the price it is not bad

Bruyant,sans équipement et vétuste.
Pros:

Personnel agréable et qui fait son possible pour vous aider. Emplacement en face de la plage.

Cons:

Très bruyant car la route passe devant et c'est du passage incessant. A la réservation on parle d'une kitchenette....OK. mais pas équipée! Une casserole et une petite poêle qui est proche de la fin de vie!. Pas assez d'assiette, couvert etc...
La salle de bain éculée. Pas de coin au calme pour déjeuner. Les photos sont vraiment trompeuses. L'hôtel mérite un rafraîchissement total. Très cher pour ce que c'est.
