100% recommended. It really worth your money.
Pros:

Everyone was really polite, kind and welcoming with us all the time. Breakfast really good in front of the beach.
Pool and common areas always clean. Heath room has a front door with a little patio that makes your accomodation more private and comfortable. It Has tv and a big fridge in each room. The toilet/bathroom is open but really covered with light on the plant that makes a really nice vibe.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

Overall great spot for the value, just a few kinks to work out
Pros:

great staff, great breakfast, great location, nice pool.

Cons:

I really liked this place but there was Lots of black mold, I could smell it inside and see it on the doors, which made my breathing compromised…the shower also didn’t work. No pressure when set on cold water and there was no warm water only scalding hot. I let reception know and they said they would try to fix the issue but nothing came of that. Also woke in the night to mangoes falling on the roof and the mosque loud and clear at 4am so if you’re a light sleeper and sensitive to mold this may not be a good fit.

🏖️ Alojamiento cómodo, tranquilo y bien situado. Ideal para escapadas solo o en pareja!
Pros:

Nos gustó mucho la ubicación del alojamiento: está muy cerca del puerto, en pleno centro y con tiendas a pocos pasos, lo que resulta comodísimo. También valoramos que se puedan alquilar bicicletas directamente allí, que el alojamiento tenga piscina y que, al tener pocas habitaciones, sea un lugar muy tranquilo y agradable para descansar.
El desayuno que ofrecían era muy bueno y variado. El único detalle es que no se servía en el mismo hotel, sino en otro alojamiento cercano, junto a la playa. No fue un problema, pero es algo importante a tener en cuenta, ya que el desayuno no se hace en el mismo sitio.
Además, la habitación contaba con una nevera que funcionaba perfectamente, lo cual es un punto muy a favor, y cada habitación disponía de una garrafa de agua mineral, algo muy práctico y de agradecer, ya que evita tener que comprar agua aparte.
Aun teniendo en cuenta algunos inconvenientes, fue un lugar que nos gustó mucho. Es ideal para pasar unos días en pareja, muy cómodo y tranquilo. De hecho, a pesar del problema con la reserva en Booking, decidimos volver a reservar en el mismo sitio, porque, viendo las opciones de la zona, la relación calidad-precio era de las mejores. Además, nos pareció un alojamiento muy económico para todo lo que ofrecía.

Cons:

Lo que no nos gustó fue que casi nunca había personal en el alojamiento; todo se gestionaba por WhatsApp, y solo aparecían si se les escribía. Además, hubo algo de confusión con la gestión de las reservas. Por ejemplo, quise reservar una noche más y aparecía disponible en Booking, pero al comunicarlo al personal, la reserva desapareció como si la hubiesen eliminado, y al final tuve que buscar otro lugar para esa noche.
También notamos que los productos del baño no estaban muy diferenciados: el champú y el gel corporal parecían ser el mismo, y lo mismo ocurría con el acondicionador y la crema corporal. Además, en los pequeños detalles se podría mejorar un poco; por ejemplo, en una de las estancias no se habían revisado los pañuelos de papel u otros elementos similares al preparar la habitación. Detalles que tampoco hacen que sea peor eh! Solo por mejorar.
