The hotel rooms were not as advertised, clearly booked through a third party. They were located above a restaurant with continuous loud music. Additionally, our kids ended up across the street without us knowing. However, the location was fabulous, albeit crowded during late December, overlooking the beautiful pool area. The dining experience was lovely with a variety of options available but the hot dogs were particularly good.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the room was clean and well-done, it felt too small for three adults and lacked enough outlets. The noise from outside and the pungent smell from nearby restaurants were quite offputting. On the bright side, the suite upgrade offered more space and comfort, making it more pleasant.

Across the road, my room was at the end of the building, a last room. The hotel is situated by drug dealers but has access to many shops, restaurants, and the beach. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was average with painfully slow attendants but diligent security measures. The dining experience was not up to par with high school-like atmosphere and flies all over the food. The location is good but not worth the money spent. On the bright side, the facilities were clean and well maintained, providing a pleasant stay.

To our greatest surprise, the hotel could have been a bit more luxurious. What I booked on Bookings didn't have enough drawers.
