Overall 3/5 stars. Pros: Friendly staff. Hotel is near stores and restaurants. Cons: Rooms a little outdated. Shower is right in front of the bed. No door or wall to separated it from the sleeping area. Didn’t like that the cleaning lady would come knocking on your door to ask for money.

This was by far the most enjoyable hotel I have ever stayed at in a foreign country. The service was top-notch and the hotel was very clean. The room was superb and very spacious and don’t let me even start talking about the incredible view.

This is not an all inclusive property like we used to visit in Punta Cana o Jamaica, this is an all inclusive with limits, breakfast, lunch, an snack and dinner with unlimited selected drinks since 11 am to 6:30 pm, after that you have to pay for drinks (alcoholic or not) they have a coffee machine in the lobby and you have to pay for the coffee at anytime, it is not a complain only to letting know that you will have this inconvenient, but we have a very good week, and the staff was wonderful

The room service food was disgusting and they wanted to charge me another 35.000 pesos just to bring it to my room,the half board dinner they served was nasty too,no effort in making the food taste with quality, and so basic, i had diarrhea and got a little sick from the dinner food they served.the tv in my room didn't even have a remote wich is just crazy to me, im so glad i brought my fire stick from the states to i can utilize the tv,one more thing, its 2024 why are they giving me a pair of keys for my room instead of a card room key,please eventually upgrade that.its a hassle to carry that large key when i leave the hotel

This property was well kept and clean. They did their best to facilitate us as Spanish isn’t our first language. The day staff is very friendly and also helped us in booking the excursions.The staff is kind and courteous, breakfast menu was very unique and often tasted great. Shout out to the staff. Excellent . Would definitely recommend.

My stay at La Gran Via was great. I had a nice room on the 9th floor that was very spacious. The hotel is walking distance from a 24/7 drug store and plenty of restaurants. The staff were friendly and really helpful. Please note that they will charge you for towels that are really dirty. I took a towel on a mud excursion and was charged for it - but I expected it from other reviews!

The property/ apartment was beautiful, clean with a beautiful view. The bed was very uncomfortable and uneven mattress that sunk in places which resulted in backaches and lack of sleep. The staff was semi-friendly (there were multiple staff that spoke some English and we used google translate for those with limited English) We had a rental car but used taxis to go to places where parking was limited. The hotel front desk insisted that they call their preferred persons (taxi) to transport us which we concluded that we were severely overcharged. (ex. to drive less than 2 miles, we were charged 40,000 pesos) only to pay 15,000 pesos to return from the same location. We followed the hotel's policy for room/ cleaning services which we had to go to the lobby on multiple occasions to request towels. On the day of check out, they tried to charge 20,000 pesos for a "damaged towel". It was make-up on the towel and shared that it would wash off (I am African American) and was outraged by their demand that I pay for a towel with make-up on it. We will never stay there again.
