I was expecting something a little fancier for the price, but it was just ok, nothing to justify lavish praise or write home about,. The room was not so clean when we moved in -- somebody else's hair on the floor. It was improved the second day. Our bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was dingy, fairly scarred from a long battle against mildew, with neither side the clear winner. The beachfront view was great. It is on a busy pedestrian mall, so not exactly a quiet idyllic spot, but this is San Andres. We lucked out and got an air conditioner -- not all the rooms have them.The location made it possible to grab your snorkel, cross the walkway and jump in the water. The front desk staff was efficient, though not wholly welcoming, I felt that they might have warmed to us after a few days. The friendliest people were the staff in the dining room, and breakfasts were great. Noble House Hotel, where we also spent a night, doesn't have views but the staff were friendlier and the building has more character.
