It is very well located. The staff is very friendly and available. They have laundry service, bikes, snorkels at good prices.
The hotel is new and clean.
When we arrived they did not have the room we had booked, we had to take a smaller room. Two days without water to shower and 4 days without hot water. One morning there was no breakfast because there was a power outage. They do not offer toiletries, and towels were often missing after cleaning. They also do not have laundry service at the hotel.
