I would definitely recommend this hotel! It’s right in the beach and has a pool. The AC was cold and the showers were wa
Pros:

It was right on the beach that was amazing for sunrise view. Staff was friendly!

Cons:

There were ants in our room but we were in the jungle so there are probably ants in every room there🤷‍♀️

Hôtel en bord de plage avec piscine et personnel très sympathique
Pros:

Hôtel en bord de plage face à la mer avec personnel super sympathique, bon petit déjeuner, piscine (c'est un gros plus car la mer étant dangereuse, on ne pouvait pas s'y baigner). On a pu réserver 2 excursions via Priscillia de l'hôtel ( sortie nocturne sur la plage pour voir les tortues pondre et 'safari' tour en bateau dans les canaux du parc national). Restauration possible sur place.

Cons:

Pas grand chose.
