The overall experience was great. The desk staff was super friendly and helpful. We had a view that overlooked the beach which was so nice. The only complaint was there were multiple light bulbs out in our room. It did not lessen our experience however.

The air-conditioning wasn't working in the 1st room when I called to report it to the front desk they just said to open a window and to wait to get colder. I asked to be moved into another room. Second room was better but lack on door was broken and the railing on the balcony was damaged. Rooms were not clean there was dust everywhere and the sheets were stained. Wouldn't probably stay there again
