We had to change rooms and pay for a better room, the first room was tiny outdated and view towards a brick wall. However, paying for a better room was worth it - we got a nice sized room, with a nice balcony and view to the ocean!
The hotel is located about 20 minutes from old town, but with easy access and bus links to most places.
Overall it's a quite basic hotel, but a lovely pool area and just metres from the ocean.
