I found the location to be quite convenient (a short walk to many attractions). the pool was pristine and inviting. the public kitchen was a great addition, especially with the included refrigerator. i really loved that some activities were free. The karaoke night on sunday killed it.

I appreciated the yoga area and the nice pool. It felt relaxing. hanging out with iguanas added a unique touch, very cool. the location is near the main attractions, yet the hotel remained quiet, which i really liked. i found the staff to be very helpful and nice, a definite plus!

the beds were really hard, unfortunately. this affected my sleep quality . i hope they can improve this in the future.
