Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Room was clean, quiet, and big. Bathroom was nice, warm shower. Oscar was amazing, he was available for what we needed, and breakfast was very good.
Negative: Kind of in a less developed area but we still felt safe and welcomed the entire time! Not a bad walk to the water.
Summary: Excellent stay!
