There is nothing boutique about this property. The grounds are poorly kept. Looks nothing like the pictures shown. The rooms are basic. I had a mini table in my room with cigarette burns on it so nasty. Would never stay here again. Not worth a dime.

First impression walking into office, was not impressed. Our room was nice and clean, bed comfortable. The “court yard” small and dingy. Location was great, walkable to beach and bars.

First time here. Good: great location to beach, bars, and food. The help was courteous. Bad: almost zero water pressure in bathroom, the bed was very firm and rolled to the middle, There is construction across the road, even on Saturday morning. The walls are paper thin and could hear everything.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Dirty as hell!!! My shower was moldy, room smelled like chemicals, with all the air freshener they sprayed upon my check in. I would never stay here again, the “owners” or employees all live here it seems, parking was impossible, the workers parked in the entrance of the hotel so you literally had to squeeze between a minivan and bushes to get to your room lol. A real joke! The beach was close so that was cool but other than that, lesson learned with these cheap roach motels…
