Lovely and caring staff, we immediately felt welcome, they were helpful with the luggage, and provided late checkout. However, the building and facilities are old and outdated, air conditioning and wifi did not work.

Warning- Do not book here! Forfiet your money if you already paid. This place will destroy your vacation mood. It is under new managemrent from India who refused to take the calls from expedia to discuss my refund so I had to take 3 calls from Expedia saying he would not answer the phone. Should be closed during construction and possibly condemed. You arrive to the entire lobby fenced off with mesh the entire floor is gone. You walk over a bridge water feature but no water is on it. The water fountain going to restaurant is cracked with no water. The pool is merky and with the red light at night looks OMINOUS! WE WERE BITTEN BaDLY BY BEDBIGS! There are muddy trenches dung all over the lawn. The day bed was filthy. They locked beach access because they said it is dangerous. The website implies there is beach access. The water has local fisherman and looks very commercial and looks uninviting.
