The whole hotel smells like the open sewer that runs by the hotel straight into the ocean. We counted more than 40 vultures at the same time sitting on top of the hotel! The air conditioner was extremely loud, which may have been a good thing, because the planes fly right by the hotel when landing.
Rooms are rundown and need badly to be upgraded. Definitely not 5-star, more like 1 or 2. Only bath towels, no hand towels, no hairdryers. Shampoo will not be replaced when empty.
English speaking reception is a challenge (only one person spoke some English); supposedly our prepaid reservation was not there and "we were let in, because they are nice".
Restaurant is way too expensive ($18 for a simple hamburger!). Breakfast was good. You get free Wi-Fi in the room. They kept our luggage safely for a few days. They had a refrigerator, which we did not need.
