"The best feature of this hotel is the view, overlooking the town and the bay. It's a 10-15 minute walk to town, on a road that is not always safe for pedestrians. Nice ifinity pool. The rooms are spacious, quiet and comfortable but I would expect a 4-star hotel to have a coffee maker and real glasses, not plastic! The wifi connection is very spotty. The staff was friendly and helpful."

"The room was comfortable and the breakfast terrace was a great way to start the day. The location is great, a short 5 minute walk into the main port area. I do recommend taking them up on their transfer offer to the port, I booked my own cab and it was 3x the price. The only issues I ran into was that the WiFi wasn't strong enough to do much of anything...no streaming on the TV, no video calls, my cell service was faster. If you need reliable internet service, look elsewhere. The housekeepers also kept opening the windows and letting in mosquitos while i was out, I probably killed 10-15 in my room over the course of 3 days. At one point someone (not sure if it was housekeeping or the general manager) came into my room without knocking, I just happened to be chilling in bed so it wasn't a big deal at the time but imo staff should always knock before entering an occupied room at a hotel. For the price it was worth it, but they need to work on some things for it to be more than a decent budget option."
