"Despite all the varying reviews, this hotel delivered a great service, nice staff, and was clean. Air-conditioning and WiFi worked without any issues. While the room could use a slight refresh, the hotel decor was still unique and well maintained. Their arrangement with a nearby beach is amazing. My room was clean and I had such a great sleep that I ended up missing the free breakfast. I wish the gym was open though, but otherwise a great experience overall."
