"The hotel was very nice and clean, with a good location to the beach. The staff was very helpful and nice. The food and drinks from the hotel itself were delicious (they do have to get some of the main meals from a local restaurant and they are brought into the hotel restaurant). The surrounding areas were not so pleasant. Streets and local eateries were grungy, and many homeless people by the beach areas.. Too bad. But our hotel was safe and secure."
