Podes usar la piscina, el parking free pero pocos lugares, trabajan sin desayuno y no tiene un barcito como para desayun
Pros:

Las fotos

Cons:

Reserve un hotel frente al mar y te mandan a un anexo cruzando la avenida que es un motel viejo. Que al reserva lo indican como sector norte sin vista. Pero no informan de que es otro edificio

Cons:

Advertisement highlights the new hotel on the beach. Not the 1960's one across the street. Old, run down.

Pros:

I stayed at the older hotel across the street. It was clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy. Next time I would like to stay at the tall hotel the one that is on the beach.

Cons:

It was OK. Nothing I’d write home about. But it was clean and comfortable. I thought I would be staying in the taller hotel the one right on the beach. I didn’t realize I would be across the street at the older hotel so that was kind of disappointing.

Cons:

Dated hotel, we did not get new towels during the stay. I understand the hotel was fully booked but at least that I expected.

Nasty, low class hotel
Pros:

The bed and pillows- comfortable.

Cons:

Urine smell and urine on floor, mold on bathroom walls and chairs at pool, aluminum foil on oven burners, no shampoo, conditioner, soap or hair dryer in room, holes in the dresser, plastic Walmart chairs on patio and rust on the door of our balcony. Way too expensive to have all of this and parking is across the street. Never again.

Blah!
Pros:

The beach

Cons:

Definitely not a resort. Do not let the name fool you. Room was not the best, tv is tiny, beds were decent, bathroom is tiny and the lighting was awful. No outlets to charge phones except for 1. Wasn’t given the wifi password. Only 1 washer and it didn’t even really wash the clothes, barely wet when I took them out and we were there for a softball tournament and my daughter needed her softball stuff washed. Staff wasn’t very friendly and we wanted ice cream, the lady said she’d come help us and she never came over.

Great place to stay with a beautiful ocean environment!

Cons:

Only one working elevator during the busiest time of year.
