    I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past and loved every moment of it. This year I reserve the room through booking.com and I’ve stayed in the same type of room for three years in a row so I chose the same room, in the same building,...

    Enjoyed having waitresses on Beach. They worked hard with many people to attend to. Having a Tiki bar with food convenient nice. Yes there’s nicer places to stay but for the price I would stay here again.
