“This is a new-ish place that seems geared toward younger travelers and families on a budget, though be aware that extras come at an additional cost. I noted the outdoor pool and children's area, plus its proximity to the beach and airport are practical advantages. In my opinion, its strongest suits are the communal spaces.”
