Very affordable and a great place to stay
Pros:

I really like the room with the refrigerator, stove microwave. I like how close the swimming pool area and the walk to the beach was. All the employees I seen was nice and helpful when I ask for things.

Cons:

Nothing

Room was disappointing!
Pros:

The location was ok, I walked the neighborhood. The room was clean. No heavy perfume/cleaning smell in many very old units.

Cons:

My room was not on the ocean, it was under the pool enclosure. Kitchen was under stocked. People woke me up during the night going in and out of the pool when gate slammed shut. It seemed there was a long term resident next door to my room, unfavorable sounds coming from the room during the night. The beds were not flat, on a slant. Room gave me the creeps.

Pros:

-

Cons:

Kamers in het gebouw aan de noordzijde zijn erg verouderd.
2 sterren maximaal.
Ik kreeg een kamer bij het zwembad terwijl ik om een rustige kamer had gevraagd.
Receptie deed heel moeilijk voordat ik een andere kamer kreeg, terwijl er heel veel kamers leeg waren.
