Pros (+) I liked that it was on the beach. Employees in the office, bar and restaurant were friendly and efficient. Always found a parking spot. Short walk to movie theater and 7 Eleven.
Cons (-) The free WiFi was worthless. Stayed in standard room. Carpets looked terribly dirty. No headboards on beds. Dirt and food crumbs under furniture. Very dusty on shelf and top of tv stand. Small tv. No microwave in standard rooms. People blowing tobacco smoke in your face in tiki bar. Heated pool was very cold. Weather was bad when I was there so I spent more time in the room than I normally would. ...
