Hotel is very nice and clean. The restaurant offers great variety of food options and drinks. Staff is attentive and friendly. Rooms are clean and housekeeping comes to tidy the room daily. The only downside is we have to pay $200 hotel fees during check in that we have not planned to.

The proximity of room to beach was wonderful. Staff was very friendly and responsive. The room was fair, nothing special or out of ordinary. The breakfast first day was acceptable however the breakfast on second day was more of a 1 star hotel quality. I couldn’t eat any of it because it looked undercooked and very little of everything. Staff couldn’t deal with amount of people. The dinner meal we had first night was very delicious and appetizing.

Las habitaciones son limpias y el servicio en el restaurante fue muy bueno. Sin embargo los precios de los platos que ofrecen para el almuerzo y cena son demasiado costosos. Lo que me parecio terrible fue que una masajista llamada "Janeth"que era parte del hotel y que hace masajes en la playa, me hizo un masaje el cual me dejo sin poder caminar al siguiente dia. Yo me deje hacer el masaje ya que uno de los trabajadores del bar Chiringuito me confirmo que la señora Janeth trabajaba para el hotel y que era de confiar. Yo me queje con la jefe de administracion. Ella me dijo que hablaria con las personas de Chiringuito. Al parecer la masajista fue contratada por el jefe de seguridad del hotel. Ella portaba el chaleco morado al igual que el resto del personal que trabaja en el hotel. Desafortunadamente, no me dieron ninguna ninguna respuesta. Tuve que pagar el.l servicio médico. Realmente no recomendaria este hotel a mis familiares ni amigos.

This hotel isn't managed well. We waited 10 minutes at the beach bar before 8 workers talking amongst themselves decided to serve us. Staff was friendly. Pool area was gross. We stayed 3 nights and the pool was never cleaned.
The pools had lots of algae growing on the bottom.
Leaves and other things that were never removed.
Pool area. There's a lot of bird droppings that were never cleaned up over a 3 day stay.
Black mold on the toilet.

Great hotel for the price. Staff was really friendly. Bar and food were good but service was slow. Great pool and huge sandy beaches. Noise from aircraft is irritating but not constant. Not a lot of outside the resort facilities nearby. Low cost friendly taxis always available. Would recommend for a family vacation spot.
