"Directly on the beach . I walked out to my room and was literally at the swimming pool . Took about 20 more steps and could eat a meal while watching surfers and swimmers . View was amazing . Breakfast was good but their sister restaurant property next door had the best breakfast ever . Rooms were clean. Property was well maintained . Area was safe . They did have a few rogue cops in the area who kept stopping us but never saw them stopping white guest( more than annoying ) ."

"It was definitely different than any other place we ever stayed, it was somewhat hard to find, no front desk, and the rooms (at least mine) don’t have a key. On the good side, staff was very friendly, always helpful, and there was always a police officer outside, so we really felt safe at all times!"
