Was apprehensive about staying here having read some of the reviews particularly on the theft issue, but once you take precautions (hotel safe, don't leave valuables lying around etc) that you would in any hotel you should be fine.
Yes the rooms are dated & nothing much to look at, the air con is noisy, the furniture bland....but if you plan to spend little time other than sleeping in the room then it serves its purpose. If you want luxurious surroundings or going as a couple (or certainly with kids) then this definitely is not the place.
Reception staff were always courteous to our group. Some had breakfast every morning, others did their own thing. Roof top pool was actually quite nice.
Location of the hotel is teh key. Close to the beach & all amenities.
