This place is not as advertised. The two rooms I rented, while large, were dark and a bit dingy. The single small window didn't look out over anything. Moreover they were advertised as beach cabanas despite turning out to be multiple units attached to one another that opened onto the (meek) garden rather than to the (very limited) beach. After one night I bailed on the place to find an airy, well-light room just up the street despite the difficulty associated with their two night security deposit reservation policy. That policy alone should have warned me!

We'd read good reviews on this hotel, a.o. in Lonely Planet, but was thoroughly disappointed. The was place run-down and tired looking, the room was much darker and smaller than it seemed in the advert, the cheap breakfast was a 5 minute walk down the street, the courtyard was filled with sad furniture and the beach was untidy and un-inviting. I never expect a hotel to be quite as nice as the pictures promise, but we felt cheated. We checked right out again and walked across the street to beautiful Na Balam, where we had a spacious, pretty room, a fantastic view over the perfect beach and crystal blue ocean, and where the service was amazing. The price difference? 10 USD per night...

My boyfriend and I stayed there for one night in August 2010. When we arrived to the island we immediately rented a golf cart and drove to the hotel, it was hard to find and we had to stop multiple times to get directions but eventually we found it. The rooms are small but we weren't in our room often so we didn't care. The beach out front is AMAZING it’s so clear and clean. We went snorkeling (we got snorkel equipment from the front desk for free) and just hung out. We didn't get a lounge chair so not sure if you have to pay or not (from what I've read you do). I really enjoyed this hotel the only drawback was that their is no alarm clock in the room and since we had to be somewhere the next morning at 7 I was really worried about how we were going to get up; but if you tell the front desk they will arrange a wake up call. Also we had to be somewhere by 7 and (no one told us) but the front desk doesn't open till 8 so we left our key and such on the table near the front desk; which meant we left our security deposit behind ($20) it would have been nice if someone had told us that when we request to be up by 6 am. Overall it wasn’t bad for $50.

We stayed there 3 nights and we had a great time, the hotel is located in a great place and has an amazing beach completely to itself,
We stayed in a regular room (not the cabanas) the room are very simple but they are clean.
they a serve a simple breakefirst of toast and coffe for free and it was very nice.
the hotel staff are very kind and friendly.
I recommened this hotel.
