The first impression: I was deceived by my booking site. The hotel is not on the beach. It is not on the same side of the street as the beach. It is not across the street. It's back a ways. However, the atmosphere of the hotel grounds is quite relaxing. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for.
The room. Lighting is minimal, a/c doesn't come on until the card is inserted and it wasn't exactly inviting. Yet the bed was decent. The room had space. While the shower was not enclosed, the water did drain and the tiles on the floor dried quickly so there was no slipping a half an hour later.
The site says daily housekeeping. Not for me. Every other day. Sheets were never changed (I could still see the dark spot and the two white paint spots), but they did sweep and tidy up on those days.
The pool is nice. It has a relaxing atmosphere. If you're lucky, you, too, may end up with fresh coconut water by the pool. (right time, right place issue)
Anyone who worked there while I was there was fabulous, incredibly helpful and friendly. Also, if you tour in the ocean on your check-out day and leave your luggage in the office, when you return they have a shower off the office you can use to clean off and change. Very nice to clean up!
