First we were given the keys to someone else's occupied room. Then they gave us a room where the balcony door was rusted shut. We paid extra for a balcony. No phone in the room, had to use my cellphone and wait 30 minutes to get the front desk. Wifi wasn't available at all. All bars and restaurants in the hotel advertised as in house dining, were ALL CLOSED. the pool is shared among 3 hotels.

Family trip

First off, this is an older hotel that is in need of a renovation so go in with that in mind. With that being said, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very nice. What you can't beat about this hotel is the location. The beach access and the little bar on the beach is great! They even had a DJ out in the evenings. We will stay again.
