I stayed in this hotel in late August 2014. Price was acceptable around $110/night over the weekend.
The good:
- friendly staff
- swimming pool is a good size with separate kids pool
- breakfast buffet selection is good although many are unhealthy choices
- private beach with no street merchants and vendors harassing you
- facilities were clean overall
- parking was easy
- kayak and watersport rentals available on site

The bad:
- interior of hotel looks old
- indoor waterfall view marred by an AC machine hanging next to it
- hallways were dark
- rooms smelled musty old wood

Now.. the WORST part is the beach:
- do not expect a peaceful beach paradise because as soon as you get close to the water, there was gasoline smell in the air from the jetskis and speed boats whizzing around.
- non-stop engine noise like lawn mowers running around your yard all day long
- water was murky with visibility of an arm length
- plastic garbage floating in the water occasionally sticks to your face during swimming
- seaweed overgrown. Seaweed floating everywhere in the water and into your face. An indication of nitrogen pollution from septic wastewater and fertilizer runoff.
