Pros: -location right on the beach is wonderful -rooftop and pool are gorgeous -staff are nice and helpful -breakfast included was convenient + good selection -nice balcony on the room! the view is cool, even when not of the beach -AC works well -convenient that there's a bakery, open late, just 5min walk away -conveniences of a hotel: daily cleaning, security/human presence at all hours of night Cons: -room is quite shabby/dated, and the split twin option is way too small for two people -by shabby I mean: holes in blanket, shower was at most warm, not hot (and took several minutes to get there), room was missing a lamp, no basics like tissue box or hot water heater. when we asked, they brought a lamp and a hot water heater, but the lamp had some moldy spots on it. no decor of any kind -the wifi is slow. somehow video calls seemed ok, but download/upload of files and loading websites was extremely slow -bathroom was sandy when we got there -no body wash provided, just combo shampoo/conditioner -rooftop closes early Generally: seems like this hotel is riding on its location and rooftop, but the rooms need significant updating. I have fond memories of my stay on the whole, but might be somewhat unlikely to stay there again.
