"No Air conditioning. There was a fan but it shook to an easy state. The noise from the city life was loud late as it is a touristy town. BUT The staff was friendly and had some good recommendations for local fare though it ended up being the most expensive meal of our trip. The pool was fun too. 3/5. "

"Pay cash onsite or wire transfer. Copy of your passport needed. WhatsApp if you need anything. Honestly, we did not see any other groups checked in. Full kitchen and mini fridge. They were friendly. Pool needs to be cleaned out but view is nice. Parking is for public but they said they had security onsite. Never saw them. No wifi. Parking is included. Location is good but currently off season. Just felt sketchy and deserted."
