We stayed in building 4--The hotel air conditioning is poor. We had to ask maintenance to fix the air conditioner because it was colder outside than inside. The unit was dripping water.

The complimentary breakfast was good. Pool was small and empty. Beach is small. Very average place. One thing that did bother me was their "business center".... more
