I loved how sweet our room service lady was, she was the best staff. It was a very small resort but I still enjoyed my time there. There were various pool options and a beach just a few feet away. It felt very safe and everyone was friendly although some staff looked like they didn’t want to be there.

The reviews about not having hot water are partially right. We had hot water once in our room but heard that other rooms had it but it would go cold for a couple minutes mid shower. Not having hot water wasn't a problem because it was so hot that a cold shower was welcome. Until you want to shave your legs and have goosebumps. And reception had no bandaids available in their first aid kit when there was an inevitable shaving cut. So, bring first aid. Our room was immediately next to a main pool and where the nightly entertainment was. If you're not looking for a party, make a point to request a quiet area of the hotel or you won't be able to sleep or even nap until after 11/11:30pm. The street is old, as is the infrastructure so the street often floods with grey water that smells like sewage in the afternoon but is gone by morning. I read complaints about this and, for sure, it's not ideal but consider what you're paying and that you're in a country that doesn't have the same municipal facilities you're used to. You should stay home if you don't expect to encounter these kinds of inconveniences. Or pay 4x as much to stay somewhere else. Roll with it or don't, but don't complain when you get what you paid for. If you're looking for a calm, quiet getaway, this is not it. If you're looking for an all day pool party that's family friendly, this might be your vibe. Most importantly, there's a puppy that lives on the beach that will steal your heart.

Even though the walk to the beach was not too far, they should advertise that their property is not right on the beach side. Other than that, beautiful beach, but should be cleaned more properly as there was so much algae. If you walk further down the beach that’s owned by other resorts, they do a much better job keeping their side of the beach cleaner and there’s not as much algae. I understand that algae is natural but some resorts do a much better job keeping their water and sand cleaner. As for the resort itself, it was nice but would appreciate if there was more things to do and more entertainment for the guests during the day rather than just at night.

We were so bummed to learn that they had sold the ocean front building, so our plans to pay extra for them were not an option as in past stays. The staff members were great, the food options sufficient and that beach front is fabulous. One in our group got sick, but since only one, she thinks she may have accidentally swiped her toothbrush under the faucet. Dang!! For a low budget, last minute beach hang, the rest of us enjoyed it. HUGE bonus is the ability to move the beach loungers to where you want!! Game changer! Though many are broken, when we could score enough decent chairs, we loved that.
