Multiple complaints about small/old/basic rooms, noisy A/C, running toilets, large variability between rooms, and some rooms lacking views — overall notably negative.

Several guests noted missing amenities (no fridge, no safe, no bottled water on arrival), limited facilities and inconsistent extras despite a happy hour — amenities considered below expectations.
Value for Money

Mixed but slightly positive: guests commented that it’s not a luxury hotel yet good for the price and convenient for the location; some extra charges for better rooms noted.

Generally positive: the restaurant and breakfasts were praised (recommendations for dishes like ceviche), though several guests noted limited variety and repetition at breakfast.
Overall Experience

Pros:

Location, location, location. Everything was in a minute walk, restaurants, shops, bars... And the hotel has it's own dock where you can start any tour or be dropped off after a day in the islands.
The staff was very helpful and always had a solution for any request. Could not recommend it enough

Cons:

The street is very noisy, but it is not the fault of the hotel.

Wonderful Staff and great location. Ordinary hotel.
Pros:

The staff was so kind and helpful..all of them, the gentleman at the front desk, the waitresses, the cleaners..really exceptional people,
the location, in the center of town and on the water.
The bed was big and comfortable

Cons:

it wasn't exactly dirty..but it wasn't exactly clean either.
Booking.com said my room had a view. The building is 1 foot from the next building. The view is of that roof. I confirmed with the front desk. Yes. that is the view.
