The property itself is beautiful with well-kept grounds, a great saltwater pool, and stunning ocean views. Parking was free and convenient, and the nearby plaza and grocery store were helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms were poorly lit, bathrooms showed discoloration and weren’t properly cleaned, and service was inconsistent at best. I often felt like I had to plead for solutions and was even debated with over issues that should have been resolved quickly. While a few staff members (Mark, Nedra, and Minako) were wonderful, overall hospitality felt uneven, and as a Black American traveler, I noticed others received better treatment. The final disappointment was having to drag my own bags down nearly five flights of stairs at check-out because no bellman was available. Beautiful views, but not an experience I’d return to or recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Property grounds were ok but sand around rooms could have been cleaned, there were a lot of birds and iguanas looking for shade right in front of the rooms, the bed was motel vibes , hard with cheap bedding, if you sat a drink down and walked away , you would return to find it covered with little ants , there are no elevators for beachfront rooms which are more like beach view , so you will have to drag luggage up or down, staff aren’t the friendliest , food is mid mostly , it’s boring , no real entertainment on the resort, I wouldn’t recommend this for American POC, I was charged 6 dollars at the end for 3 local calls , you have to go back up the hill for ice, they require you to ask for a gym pass daily at the front desk, beach towels are initially left at your room, but since I switched rooms I had to go back to reception for beach towels, a lot of work while on vacation , the locals said this resort doesn’t have the best reputation and I should’ve tried the Marriott 😞

My stay at this hotel was great overall. The environment and landscaping was nothing but scenic. Great photo opportunities. The staff were super friendly and accommodating even with the slight language barrier. However, almost everyone understood me fairly easily. The food was also great with an extensive breakfast. My one complaint would be the cleanliness of the sofa could have been better. It was actually pretty, visibly dirty in our room. The room also had a somewhat “bland”, dull smell. Like there was no smell at all, no fresh, inviting smell. I can’t explain it more than that. We requested some sort of air freshener which was handled by housekeeping shortly after. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and will return!!

The property is nice and well kept, staff are helpful and the breakfast options were plentiful. The two pools are nice especially the man made beach pool by the beach club. The only set back for me was the rental of the beach area every night for the week we were there to a private event. Music rattled our room every night till 1 or 2 am. On one of the nights was a fireworks show right outside our building. This really is the only complaint which ofc I assume is a one off situation.

The hotel was very good. The staff is quite square, meaning they don’t flexibilize anything. Overall everything is in good shape and condition. There are several options of restaurants, but only 1 belongs to the hotel; all others are independent. The breakfast is buffet style for USD 25 per person, but to be honest I didn’t think the options and variety justify the price.
