Ala Mar was a quaint hotel steps from the beach. Most things were within walking distance.
The two hotels under one ownership was confusing. Receiving information for a booking at Ala Mar and then a follow up message about the booking from Villa Rosa left me scrambling to see if I had booked two hotels! Furthermore, when I called the hotel number, I never received a callback.

The bedroom was good for a nice stay, shower head had a few problems but other than that it was good. AC really helped.
The showerhead, and it was nosy towards the night.

The bed and the location were great. Staff was pleasant. The building is not maintained and $400 a night room was decrepit. Parking was tricky. They have 10,parking spaces for 20 rooms.
The price of room for what I got. Room was worn out and falling apart.
