Monte Kristo Hotel
The Monte Kristo hotel is located in the old town and walking distance to all attractions. We were greeted warmly by the girl at the front desk. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The breakfast had a variety of items. Our only complaint about the Hotel Monte Kristo is how dated it is. It really could use a good renovation. The carpets were quite dirty and old and the room seemed very gloomy due to the dark colours and design of the curtains and bedspreads.

Excellent location, but avoid in hot season
Superior location for old town, central market, shopping, restaurants and public transportation to airport and beaches.
The conditioning is very noisy and inadequate in power so if you are at all sensitive for noise and hot room at night, this may be not correct choice.
Breakfast was satisfactory in this price range.
