This place was great! And the Staff was excellent. A perfect little hideaway on the beach

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Be warned: The pictures you're seeing of this property on Expedia tell only a fraction of the story. Upon arrival, our Uber driver had a hard time finding the entrance. Why? Because the weathered sign doesn't make it clear as to where or if there's a lobby.

Wij komen niet meer terug.

Nauwelijks te vinden. Soort van weggestopt. Wordt totaal geen Engels gesproken. Ziet er op de foto’s een stuk mooier en moderner uit dan in het echt. In de ochtend kan er nauwelijks een goedemorgen af. Geen idee hoe het werkt met het ontbijt. De medewerkster staat achter de balie soort van administratie te doen. Wordt niet gevraagd of je een kop koffie wilt of hoe het ontbijt in zijn werk gaat. Ook niet als je al 20 minuten aan tafel zit. Als er vervolgens een Duits gezin de kamer uit komt die vrolijk begroet wordt met een kop koffie is dat voor mij een teken om uit te checken en elders te ontbijten. Bij uitchecken kwam in het Spaans pas de vraag voor het ontbijt. Dat was 20 minuten te laat. Bedden zijn redelijk hoog maar wel comfortabel.
