The room was excellent, the location was nice-beach close -10 minute walk. Quiet in the evenings. Front desk staff could be more welcoming. Not many restaurants in walking distance. But domicillios are abundant-and quick. It was a great stay!

The pueblo is great for visiting for a couple days. The nights are geared towards loud music and drinking and the music can be heard across the water to the hotel.
