    The shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower; the shampoo smells horrible and the conditioner wouldn’t dispense in one of our room and neither dispenser worked in the other room. No wash clothes or hand towels. not being able to have the included breakfast our first morning due to they had no time slots left due to “Covid” and not allowed to have all five of us sit at one table, Max four people at a table due to “Covid”...

    Good Location within walking distance to some good restaurants and into town. The pool was refreshing & had amazing ocean views.

    The pool area does not have enough umbrellas for the sun, also it lacked covid distances guidelines, for example, we were sitting at a table and then a couple of guest picked up some chairs and sat right next to us to lay down, so there was no indication for safety distances between tables and guests. As a suggestion some places have safety marks on the ground to set proper distances between tables.

    The room and bathroom were extremely clean. The pool had the perfect temperature and it was clean as well.

    It is quite loud, because it is directly at the street. No fridge in the room.

    Super nice seaview. Corona conform breakfast at the room. Coffee machine is in the room. Comfy beds and there is everything you need. The pool is quite big and you can enjoy your drinks at the pool bar.

    Hotel is on side of hill, we were walking up and down hill all the time. Rooms on small side. Could enter/exit bed from only one side of bed. Tiny pillows. Major, very loud pool party (a DJ and a live band simultaneously) every Friday night until 2:30 AM for locals, with free pass for hotel guests. This is a regular event, give serious consideration to staying on a Friday. I understand the need to profit but this is clearly at the expense of the hotel guests who find out only when they arrive.

    Location good, on the edge of town, you could walk to restaurants and beach in 5-10 minutes. Liked the pool and swim up bar. Breakfasts were very good. Friendly staff. Free use of surfboards.

    Wish the bed was more comfortable and not so stiff. It was very uncomfortable; I don’t think it should be too

    The only complaint was the beds. Very uncomfortable and such a disappointment. When I travel, I really appreciate a nice comfortable bed. The prices that most hotels charge it should not be too difficult to provide good beds even if they need to be protected.

    The location is perfect. The Friday dance party was pretty awesome. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
