We selected this hotel based on the rating by trip advisor. We paid 44$ a night for a room on twin sharing basis and requested a beach front view... Upon reaching the hotel, we were seated in the lobby area only to be surrounded by mosquitoes in a fraction of seconds... We were then taken to our room where the... more

So OK the rooms need a lick of paint, but where else do you get the bed sheets and towels changed every day, a smile from... more
