Poincare Beach

Loved this property, perfect size for our needs. The location was perfect.

This is not a conventional hotel; Reception is often unattended and guests are trusted to look after themselves. Maids will not enter your room when you are out to tidy, clean and make the beds, though a member of staff did offer us clean towels when we needed them. For those on a budget, there are facilities for preparing and eating food in the rooms. Everything is clean and well appointed. The staff - mostly young women, as far as I could make out - are exceptionally charming and helpful. I was contacted by a staff member a day or two before our arrival, to give us instructions on how to find the hotel and access the hotel using a pass-code. She also provided prompt information when I asked for it. Our room overlooked a main road but we were not disturbed by traffic noise because double-glazing reduced external sound by at least 95%. The rooms are air-conditioned, of course. AMMI is nicely situated on the edge of the old city, just seconds from the lanes and passage-ways which make this part of town so attractive, with their bars, cafes and restaurants. I'd guess that it's a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Recommended!

The hotel is in a great location in centre of town and just short walk to the beach. However, considering we paid over $900 CDN per night (August, so likely an increase due to high season) this hotel is not worth the value for money. The room was tight and oddly designed. When you walk into the room you are essentially in the shower and sink area of the bathroom.There isn’t a door between this area and the bedroom. There was no storage area in the bathroom, just an Ikea type shelf that looked well used. The mini fridge was not plugged in so everything was warm and when we plugged it in, hours later we found that it didn't work anyways. The area where they served breakfast smelled so bad that we had to eat outside. This hotel looks very pretty on the outside and is in a great spot, but definitely not worth the price.
