The location was ideal for exploring nearby shops.
The room was small. There was hardly any space to move around the bed, causing a cramped feeling. I also noticed broken picture frames in the room, indicating a lack of proper maintenance.

the rooms, i thought, would be very nice. our room was so disappointing for the price we paid. it felt tiny and claustrophobic, like there was no room to move. also, the house cleaner didnt empty rubbish and i noticed broken tap fittings. the bar staff really should know how to make a margarita better, it was terrible.
