The hotel was extremely clean and the workers were very kind and helpful. Only, downside was the hotel is right next to (3 feet) from three roosters who at 4 am every morning and throughout the afternoon found it necessary to have a contest at who can crow the loudest. If you plan on sleeping, a white noise machine and ear plugs wont drown out the roosters, but they'll help. Additionally, the hotel is right off of the street where you'll hear trucks, cars and motorcycles most of the evening. So, if sleep is your goal stay away; but for whale shark swimming it's perfect. Very close and they arrange a driver to take you there, check you in and bring you back for 20 pesos. Again, very clean hotel, spacious room and nice people... just located right next to road and chick coup.
