Liked: Staff & service
4 people, two rooms, 6 nights. Staff is helpful trying to deal with the (known) smell issue. Ended up switching to other rooms.
Beware of the in-closet safe, mounted at shoulder level but black and hard to see in the dark. Banged my head against it when reaching down for my bag, resulting in laceration on forehead with blood gushing out. Front desk gave some gauze and only two tiny bandaids. Had to reconsider the snorkeling trip prearranged for the next day. Surprised serious injuries did not occur before. They should just put the safe somewhere else.
Across from the hotel appears to be a local party central, parking lot to a few bars and ice cream parlor filled with people New Year's Eve, police appeared at some point to break up the crowd.
Rental car office in the lobby proved useful. It's a good 20 min walk to town, taxi seemed expensive. Rental car is the way to get around and drive to other beaches.The beach across the street is nice, less crowded than some others. The two restaurants on the beach are good for sunset dinning.
Overall not a bad experience (minus the smell and the head banging part).
