Great location
This is a boutique hotel with a Fantastic location!! On the Beach and a block away from 5th avenue. The have a restaurant on site that transitions into a beach bar (on the beach) called the Sand Bar (I think). The deck 5 Sky bar give a beautiful view on the ocean. The deck 5 sky bar is on the smaller side (but very nicely down) as it is a boutique hotel. We will stay there again. The beds are great for …..

This was my third stay at this hotel. The staff is great - both Lupeta and Joceline at the reception were a great help throughout the stay. The free breakfast is generous, location is perfect right at the ocean. Rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Do not believe anything written by people who are paid to post positive comments. This is a trash can, not a hotel. Avoid it at all costs.
It’s very dirty, run down, bed full of hair, dirty toilet without a door, along with a disgusting smell in the room, etc. No positive points. I give 0 stars.
Do not let the pictures on their site or social media fool you: it’s false advertising. AVOID!!!

Amazing stay! Easy to check in, right in the middle of the city and the beach. Amazing view from the rooftop and very spacious room. Excellent for the price point

Comfortable stay! Beautifully decorated and convenient location! However the lights on the balcony stay on all night (no off switch) and there is conflicting music between the cafe connected to the hotel and the restaurant next door but not too bad! We would stay here again and again!

The property has very nice accommodations and is right on the beach, but I was unaware that you couldn't flush tissue down the toilets. I found this to be very unsanitary and this ruined my vacation.

I really love this hotel, but over the years I can see it’s slowly declining. It’s a a few small things that will enhance its ratings. The room layout is very unique and different, but it’s giving update vibes. For the price, I’ll definitely be visiting again. I hope some adjustments are made. Most definitely recommend to others. My small peeves wouldn’t deter me from staying again in the future.

I didn’t like not being able to flush the toilet paper in the toilet after I wiped myself which caused the room to have a smell. I have never been in place that I couldn’t flush the toilet paper that’s very unsanitary.
