Great that it was on the beach and glad we didn’t spend much time in the room. Recommended if you’re just looking for something to just have a place to sleep on a beautiful beach!

Lovely Stay
Great stay!! But first off, this isn’t a fancy, brand new hotel. It’s been around a minute and probably weathered a ton of storms, BUT it was clean and right on the beach. It has a kitchenette which was SUPER handy. I could listen to the ocean waves and also the pool was right outside my door. ALSO, just Steps to the beach. The girls in the office were super sweet and very helpful. The only complaint I have is the beds weren’t the most comfortable but I’ve seen worse. I would still and probably definitely will stay here again! We’ll be back for sure. Easy peesy for just me and my hubby.

Beautiful ocean view, that said I wouldn’t stay here again! We booked a big beautiful room for us to stay with our son & his girl. We got there to check in & nothing but problems. The man there said I didn’t book that suite, then he said there weren’t any left, come to find out this happened to six other people!!! No manager on duty he shakes his phone at me & says she’s not responding to him! What a joke!! Overpriced for place that’s run down & needs serious upgrades!! Bottom line if you can, stay somewhere else & if you can’t bring extra toilet paper because they only give you 1 roll!!

The hotel is economical but surpassed expectations. The room was spacious and well-equipped. The check-in was easy, professional, and welcoming. Eduardo has great customer service and its a great when it comes comes to multitasking the hotel is away from the bigger croweded hotels there the beach was quite and not crowded. Sugars also is the front beach and the supper easy access to the beach
