This was a fantastic place to stay! I was traveling with 4 friends, so we booked the room with 6-beds, and it was great! We had a private bathroom, but there were also 2 full bathrooms on the bottom floor next to the change rooms (for those hanging by the pool), so we were all able to shower and do our business without having to wait for the en suite bathroom 👌👌 There are tons of restaurants in the area, and an Oxxo nearby if you want to grab some drinks & snacks. There is also an awesome theatre where you can hang out during a rainy day! (Remember to log out and clear the laptop’s browser settings/cookies when you’re done) Don’t forget to check the complimentary snacks table in the lobby 🤗🤗 I will definitely be returning with friends again!!
