Stay in the main hotel with a sea view otherwise it’s not worth it. Pay a little extra and don’t bother with kitchen un
Pros:

Location to beach. Shower worked well and bed was clean and comfy.

Cons:

We had a kitchenette with barely any equipment. Pot lid was dirty and everything felt old and grimy and some things in need of repair. Rust in various places. No toiletries. Room did not smell good.

Good quality for the price
Pros:

Everything was explained so there were no surprises. ( lile the hotel i bookex being across the street and what to do if the oarking lot gets full) The check in staff was super nice the rest were still nice just not as friendly. Even though our hotel was across the stress, the beach access was easy to get to. Even though the parking lot fills up fast the second parking lot is very close and easy to get to. I liked that there was a kitchen and a big trash can in the hotel room. I also never once saw any bugs.

Cons:

I did not like how hard it was to turn the shower on, you have to pull very hard and I was so scared I was going to break it. Thankfully I called and they explained.
