a mixed experience at this hotel

acceptable breakfastdated furnishingsbathroom mold
the breakfast was acceptable (nothing special, mind you).
the room was quite disappointing. the bathroom had mold, and the furnishings looked very old and dated. also, the private beach was rocky, less than ideal for swimming.

mixed experience

dated furnitureblocked drain
The furniture seemed quite dated. The style seemed like a throwback to the '70s, honestly. this gave the impression that the room wasn't as clean as it could have been, even though i believe they tried their best. also, i found that the shower drain was blocked, so water accumulated quickly during showers.

Adequate Stay with a Few Downsides

dated roomsewage smell
The room was rather dated I must say. The air conditioning dripped water onto the balcony and the bathroom smelled like sewage. Staff responded with just air freshener which obviously did little to solve the problem. I also found it annoying that fridges were communal not in individual rooms.
