8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026
Perfect location - super close to the beach, and the bus will drop you 1 block away. There are shops and restaurants nearby. The staff is super friendly and helpful
An air conditioner would have been extremely helpful, since the weather was quite warm. Other than that, it was super nice
9 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
Great location, variety of outdoor places to hang out, outdoor area was aesthetically pleasing, cute little geckos everywhere, super helpful and friendly staff, kitchen had enough dishes and supplies to actually cook in, suitable for traveling with kids, decent laundry station (handwash your own) with available laundry lines, seems a bit of a community hub
Two fans for 3 beds wasn’t enough - we were able to get a third fan so it ended up not being a problem after the first night. The smell of the sargassum at night was pretty intense - proximity to the beach is both a plus and minus.
