Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy — Children are not allowed, so families travelling with kids won't be accommodated.
- Location is central but not in the tourist heart — You'll need to walk or take transport to reach beaches and main attractions; the hotel sits closer to Centro and the airport.
- Shower heads may be fixed in some rooms — At least one guest noted the shower head is non-detachable, which can be a minor inconvenience.
- Simple 2-star facilities — Don't expect a gym, pool, or elaborate breakfast spread — the property focuses on essentials.
