I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice with brilliant views from the top floor. The mosquito nets provided were a thoughtful touch even though we didn't encounter any mosquitoes, probably due to the windy weather. The room itself was lovely, everything was in perfect working order, and I enjoyed the great shower and beautiful bed. The free beach towels, massage service, and scuba diving school on site added extra value to the stay. The pool area was very nice, and there were plenty of restaurant options within walking distance. The housekeeping service was perfect.
