Good
Cons:

There were both a spider and a lizard in my bathroom, so I would consider that not as clean as expected. And the type of cook (seasoning) at the hotel seems to be incosistent with the coastal region.

relaxing stay great views
Pros:

views amazing
food was great
service was excellent

Cons:

not the manager’s fault but the owners about NOT having a better service for paying with credit cards / machine had broken & only CASH payment was available which it was not convenient at all. We couldn’t pay for our stay until later. this issue has to be resolved / it was
not fun trying to figure out steps and ways to collect credit card payment thru a different system that did not accept our credit cards from abroad. manager tried so hard but no luck
