The staff was extremely nice and the breakfast with a view was amazing. That alone is worth staying there. The lunch and dinner were good as well, the drinks were ok. As we found in Guatemala, most drinks are just ok. The rooms are clean the shower decent. The only con is that you WILL hear people starting at 0530-0600 dragging their luggage and chatting loudly every day so just plan on getting up at that time.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The floor boards were old, tattered, and separating in multiple rooms including mine. The rooms smelled like mold/mildew. The floors had dirt/dust particles. The sheets had a tint to them that made me feel like they’ve been used way too many times. There were multiple moths in my room. There was some sort of water issue and our water stopped working in the middle of the night and we never received an alert or explanation, outside of us walking out to the foyer and seeing maintenance working on what appeared to be a water main break. No apologies from the staff or alternative options to use bathrooms, brush teeth, or shower. Before the water issued the night before we did use the shower and it was great pressure and heating wise… a little too hot if you’re not careful. Also the food was great.

The staff was absolutely great and our highlight there - they were friendly, welcoming and helpful! The room we stayed at was very small and the bathroom even smaller, with a shower were you couldn't even stand in straight. Moreover, it was very noisy at any time of the day or night, so very difficult to res
