mixed feelings about this hotel.
loose socket minimal toiletries
the location was across the street from the beach.
I felt the room was overpriced. there was a lack of attention to detail. the electrical socket was loose and minimal toiletries were provided. Just one small body wash for two people. i did expect more for the cost.
