Pros (+) Room was spacious. It's next to the beach. Breakfast was average
Cons (-) Checking in the gentleman at the counter was very rude. Had his head phones in and basically just asked for name and gave us our key. Didn't give us any information. The room also smelled like animals had been in there.

Cons (-) People next to us partied all night with loud music and dozens of people in their room. We complained and nothing happened . Was not worth the money we did not sleep at all and the tv was broken.
