"When reading reviews before booking I found only 2 negatives: 1. no direct beach access, 2. smell of waste water treatment facility located near by. Yes, both are true, but totally insignificant. 1. Yes, you have to cross the road to get to the beach, but the road is narrow and traffic is very light and distance from hotel to beach is only about 2 minutes - so this is no issue. 2. The smell - yes there is a smell sometimes (2-3 times per day, but not every day, lasts only maybe 30 minutes, not on the beach only around hotel) - the smell is not pleasant but also not terrible. It is not "fecal odor" type but rather "fermenting odor" (like when you are passing beer brewery) and because there is a constant breeze or wind it is bearable - so this is no issue.
Now the good things: hotel is well equipped, clean, employees at reception are efficient and pleasant (we needed a rental car, they arranged for one within minutes and car rental picked us up). Buildings are 1 story so no need to ride elevators, there are no crowds, no rowdy teenagers - simply you feel like you came to visit your favored relatives for holidays. Beach is clean, turquoise water without any sea weeds, free beach chairs and palapas (fyi 2 chairs with umbrella for non-hotel guests cost $40). And last but not least - price of this hotel is reasonable comparing to high rise hotels at Palm Beach. On the other hand, if you are young, single and want to mingle you should choose Palm Beach, there is a lot of "action"."
