Surprisingly clean for a place by the beach. Not perfect but good for what it’s worth. The staff who works the desk is very nice and helpful. Not very much I can critique

Hôtel éloigné de El Paredon (5 min en tuk tuk, 1 h à pied) et tant mieux, me concernant. Accès à la page easy. Club 14 à côté fourni tout ce qu’il fair pour se restaurant. Passer un bon moment jusqu’à 21h le soir. Je recommande pour se poser et ne pas être dans le boum boum des soirées d’El Paredon

La habitación básica pero tiene todo lo necesario; solo agregaría una TV por si uno quiere descansar y ver alguna película. Lo necesario en la cocina. El trayecto a la playa es algo largo y polvoriento pero nada de muerte. Lamentablemente el servicio del Beach Club Playa 14 si deja bastante que desear; muy tardado y la variedad de comida y bebidas, sobre todo, muy poca.
