HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Pros:

If you can please please don’t come to this hotel, the customer service was horrible, and the pictures on the website is not at all how it looks in real life, my family and I came for a vacation and booked a room with 2 beds, right off the jump the hotel room had a bad smell, the bathroom didn’t have a sink in it instead it was on the outside and right next to the first bed, the shower was super tiny with no shower pressure or anywhere to put your toiletries. the area looked like it wasn’t properly cleaned there were mysterious stains on the walls, sink and for some reason the mirror. The desk in between the beds was missing a plug and we had to go to the lobby for them to help us find a way. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE, ITS NOT WORTH IT.

Cons:

The check in time .... It's kind of late and u loose a great part of the day and it's amenities .
The access to the beach needs something a bit more secure to make it safer to walk from pool to beach .

Great location for beach access, disappointed in room air conditioning situation.
Pros:

Location was great. Nice view from balcony.

Cons:

Loudest air-conditioner I have ever heard. Actually rattled balcony door frame when running, causing frame/lock to rub and make high pitched squeal due to friction. TV couldn't be heard over rattle and vibration.
No bathroom vent/fan and no blow dryer.
