La Copa Inn Beach Hotel
Beach view is great and I love the easy access to the beach. However, the cleaning staff missed to clean the sofa bed. When I extended the sofa bed, it was very sandy. I called the front desk and was told someone will change it but no one came so I went to the front desk to get a new bedsheet myself ...
