La experiencia en el hotel fue bastante mixta. La habitación era limpia, pero un poco pequeña y crujiente debido a las limitaciones de espacio. El personal fue amable y servicial, especialmente con mis dos hijos pequeños, lo cual fue un gran alivio. Sin embargo, la ubicación dejaba mucho que desear, ya que las calles parecían poco seguras y había un ambiente de abandono. La comida tenía mucho margen de mejora y no estaba a la altura del precio. Definitivamente hay aspectos buenos, pero también otros que necesitan atención.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was absolutely beautiful with a large beach area for guests, but I felt a bit unsafe when exploring nearby streets as they looked neglected. The rooms had a unique jungle cabin vibe that I really loved, but the service could be quite chaotic during busy times with day trippers. Despite these issues, I think it still offers decent value for a beach getaway.
