Acceptable Location, but Issues Need Addressing
unsafe stairs dripping air conditioning
The location is certainly fantastic, right on the beach itself.
I booked the penthouse suite (it seemed promising online). The stairs to the loft were quite small and tight. I found them unsafe. The air conditioning dripped, so the stairs were wet. There was no television in this room.
