el lugar es agradable, las habitaciones son limpias pero muy basicas. la comida es bueno pero los restaurantes es difícil acceder a ellos porque no es con reserva y tienen una capacidad de pocas personas .el servicio en los restaurantes no es el mejor. No es el mejor hotel pero puede ser una categoría 3-4 estrellas buena. tiene buen entrenamiento nocturno pero a las 11pm se acaba todo

La comida malisima, lo mismo todos los días. Los restaurantes son buffets, solo uno es a la carta y si no vas al horario de apertura para reservar te quedas sin comer. En uno de los buffets habían moscas en la comida. Las habitaciones antiguas, les faltaba mantenimiento y pintura. El aire acondicionado sonaba muy fuerte. En definitiva no volvería a este hotel. El entretenimiento fue lo único excelente.

Overall good. Attentive staff that take care of you. Fun events and hard not to have a good time. Food, buffets specifically, were meh. The restaurants were a bit better but nothing out of this world. Had a hard time with outlets in my room, specifically charging my phone. Power also went out like twice including the water. But I did have a good time overall.
