I would stay here again. Hotel just needs a little freshening up. I liked the vibe it gave
Pros:

The location was amazing. The building looked beautiful from the outside.

Cons:

The inside of the building was very cluttered. The trees and the plants in the pool area needed to be maintained more. Our room needed some repairs. Some of the walls had small wholes that needed patching and paint. The view from two of our windows was basically trash and storage

Hotel bardzo przytulny i klimatyczny w świetnej lokalizacji

Hotel oczekiwał nas swoimi klimatycznymi wnętrzami. Duży przestronny pokój z balkonem i częściowym widokiem na ocean. Urokliwy basen otoczony roślinnością. Bardzo nam się podobało. Zaraz przy plaży

Śniadanie bardzo kiepskie.

Correct
Pros:

Cet hotel sort un peu du cadre classique. Il faut aimer... Décoration originale, piscine agréable, emplacement parfait en bord de mer. Les plus, le parking, un petit happy hour près de la piscine.
Un petit déjeuner est servi. Il n'est pas fou mais suffisant pour bien démarrer sa journée.

Cons:

J'apprécie parfois de découvrir des hôtels originaux mais la on est un peu a la limite...en arrivant on decouvre qu'il n'y a pas de clim alors quon est en aout et 4 dans la chambre. Certains objets sont tops, d'autres tres glauques...ensemble un peu vieillissant chambre tres petite pour 4 avec des valises. C'est dommage vu le potentiel de cet hôtel qui mérite un rafraîchissement.
