The ceiling in the toilet leaks so we have to transfer. The oven doesn't work good, needs a wall to cover it against the wind. It took us 3 hours to cook. The freezer door broke. The bathroom ceiling creates a noise when you open/close door. Staff are all helpful, friendly and very courteous, just needs to know how to communicate well in english other than that, they are all nice staff.

We actually found this place because we extended our stay by one day and couldn't stay in the hotel we were originally in. The restaurants on site are both great we had breakfast at Sr. and dinner at La Palapa. Both were amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the beach was quiet even though it's in the marina adjacent to the pier.

Can be a bit active at night is you stay on the Oceanside. There are few beach chairs so go next door to the Delfin and “rent” a chair, umbrella and towel for $12US that is credited to drink food purchases. The best quacame is made at your table at the Si Senior downstairs. Remember to ask for your discount. It’s not automatic. Also try the other excellent restaurants on the beach.

The room was small, it was too noisy, the air conditioner was loud, and it would shut on/off every 10 minutes. The shower keys were lose, and very little water came out. There are no amenities. Towels got dirty because of the sand after we showered. We were given a receipt for 280 pesos to pay for them. Just take your own towel, hair dryer and iron.

The room was exactly what was pictured and booked, so that was perfect. There is really no extras (water, coffee) except shampoo and soap. Bathroom could use fan but everything worked, nice shower had hot water. The beach situation leaves a lot to be desired, the restaurant downstairs provides the lounges (have like 10) and they kick you off at 3:30 everyday. You can move to a restaurant table if your going to eat or drink but beware drinks are about double the price compared to other places. I'd stay again if it was just my husband and I in a pinch. Staff is great.

While my daughter was showering, someone entered her room through a window. When she opened the door she saw a man standing by the window with his hands underneath a black jacket. He had rummaged through her bag and had placed items on the bed. He was startled and ran out the room. We contacted the reception desk and they didn't even bother to come to the room. I had to go downstairs and question the receptionist, who was by himself. He would not allow us to look at the cameras until the next day when his manager would be in. We called the police and they came over, but they said since no one was in the room they couldn't do anything about it. My daughter didn't want to stay at this hotel, therefore, we had to scramble to find another place. I requested a refund the reception said they could not since we booked through expedia.
