First time staying here and read the reviews before booking. We were only planning one night before heading to the all-inclusive next door so didnt worry too much about the negative reviews. After staying we did not understand why the reviews were so negative. I thought the place was clean, well-managed, and easily worth the price. The rooms are situated with lush jungle landscaping. The beach was just steps away. They had a pool, bar, restaurant, beach chairs, etc. Honestly if the food and drinks were included it would be not too far off from other all-inclusive accommodations we have stayed in the area. Sure the rooms are not as luxurious as other resorts but sometimes the other resorts are overkill for what you need. I would definitely recommend this place for exploring the area on a budget.
