Hôtel sympa avec piscine
Pros:

Piscine

Cons:

Il n’y a pas de petit déjeuner -
Pire il est erroné de parler de petit déjeuner 🧇 offert ou gratuit : on y trouve uniquement au lobby café ; thé ; fruits et gâteaux industriels en sachet…

Good stay for a good price!
Pros:

It was right off the beach and the room was very spacious! Bed was decently comfortable, the bathroom was a good size. Also had a mini fridge. No AC but fans were provided but we didn’t end up needing them since it was pretty cool. Overall a good stay for a decent price.

Cons:

The room could’ve used better lighting, it was a bit dim even with all the lights on at night. But maybe the overhead light bulb needed replacing.

Pros:

We had an easy and lovely walk to the beach! Excellent location that allows you to run/walk to the beach and pier that has fun food, an aquarium, and great views. We also got to eat at a restaurant on the nearby beach.

Cons:

It happened to be a little noisy due to loud guests and thin walls. Very fun if you're interested in what the neighbors are doing. Overall we really enjoyed it.

Staff and location were great. The room itself could have been cleaned and fixed up nicer.
Pros:

The property is in a great location and the outdoor pool area is great.

Cons:

The room had some considerable wear and tear. On a closer look, it didn’t seem to be totally clean. There was also no fitted sheet on the bed, only a top sheet.
