A 3 star hotel that is over rated and over priced.
Pros:

Beach was nice. Beds and pillows were comfortable.

Cons:

Lack of house keeping. The resulting sand on the balcony and in the room due to lack of house keeping. The lack of towels and bathroom necessities due to lack of housekeeping. The extremely loud AC unit that ran almost constantly making the balcony basically useless and the bed closest to the unit extremely cold. The very thin walls that allowed too much noise from other guests. The extremely pathetic attempt at a continental breakfast.
