The rooms are clean and the beach is decent. I think they take the beach every few days but there tends to be a lot of seaweed build up. Our main issue was the breakfast. They say it goes until 10am but all days we were there they ran out of things like pancakes at 8:30am and said they would not make more. How can you offer breakfast until 10am and not make more food, especially when guests ask for it. The restaurant is also okay for lunch (the beach restaurant next door has a much better and more diverse menu). Overall okay and a bit overpriced for what we paid to stay there.

For those looking for a good beach I recommend Grand Case location. Hotel staff was friendly . Due to flight situations (Venezuela) hotel did not credit or reimburse for the day late check in and told me to speak with Expedia. Called Expedia they told me deal with hotel . Run around. The manger could have been accommodated and at least give me credit to use for an extra occupancy t ( 2 night) not nice . The manger seemed nice but was not accommodating to our situation. Was not right and felt unfair. I would not recommend .

Good stay not great. For 1000 Canadian dollars a night I would expect a much nicer room. I would expect to be served coffee when I sit down for breakfast buffet. I would not expect to be limited to one beach towel per day. This place is overpriced for what you get. I would give it 3.5
