I wasn't aware there was construction happening. The pool was closed. You could hear construction on the beach and in our room. The room needs a lot of repairs. The fridge door hits the trim and doesn't always shut, the balcony door was very hard to open it needs to be adjusted, the sink faucet was wobbly, a lot of little thngs could be improved. There were restaurants near by and the location was pretty convenient.

The front desk was excellent and Courteous. Our room was not what we had requested. We had double beds when we requested and paid for a king Suite with a sofa Bed. 3 days we were woken up at 7-8am by Pool Construction and later on the day we had to kill a large bug in the room. Albeit, the room was clean but when I asked for housekeeping service it was never provided just new towels. The beds were not changed and the floors were not swept or mopped. My hair is falling out due to treatment and this was supposed to be a relaxing trip. The garage was very difficult to find parking and my boyfriend would have me wait for him till he parked and would come get me. I remember coking to this hotel as a child and wanted the memories back with my dad and the view I received was an empty pool and loud construction. The beach was close but if you stayed later and the gate was closed it would be an extremely far walk to return to the hotel. The breakfast was decent downstairs and were very friendly. Not a large selection but got to the point.

Glad you had a great stay! This is a hotel, and the staff is always friendly. What I really like about this place is the convenient access to Isla Verde Beach, with many restaurants within walking distance. The hotel is also very close to the airport, which makes traveling easy. I’ve stayed here multiple times, and this time the bar in the main lobby was open, which was a nice bonus. The only downsides are that some rooms could use an update, and parking can be a bit challenging if you drive an SUV, as the driveway is very narrow.

Not as advertised. The room smelled bad. Rusty balcony railing that was not stable and unsafe for kids. The front desk told us the pictures used are for the “owners side” not where others stay. Would not stay here again. Beach is beautiful but do not sit on the sand without bug spray. Started second part of our trip itchy with bites all over from the sand mites!
