The ocean views are amazing, the breakfast is good and they have fair variety, but on our first night the hotel had no running water and we were stuck before our tour. We contacted reception and they kept lying until they said that the entire area had no running water. That is wack because a hotel is supposed to provide 24/7 water. Would stay there again? It’s a no from me due to that inconvenience.

My jewelry went missing here. Property advertises amenities that are falling apart. Cheap vibes here. They will nickel and dime you wherever they can. For example, you’ll pay $45USD per person if your family stops by during the day.
