This was the place that was featured on Hotel Impossible. I, too, am sad to see the poor reviews. Looked like a nice place for the money; just needed a little TLC and more assertive management.

I would look at Pure Garden, instead. A similar property on the morass side, which seems to get good reviews. However, like PGW said, you should also be able to get a good price on a beach side hotel since it is the slow season.
