The hotel had basic rooms that were clean and included air conditioning, a huge bathtub, and a small sauna. The service was very nice and helpful, making me feel at ease throughout my stay. The location was good, especially for Carnival, but one of the street fronts looked scary. The dining experience was the best with a variety of personally prepared tapioca. The facilities were adequate.
