Merly
Travelled with family, Travelled with family and small children
The experience was amazing! The attention was excellent. The food was delicious. Just a heads up, the hotel is near the airport, so there will be some noise.
Yandy & Daniela were Great, there were a few more people a young gentleman at the front desk with very good english too. Actually everyone was Great. But Yady and Dniela were exceptional
El hotel todo muy bien lo malo fue que en la reserva era una valor y cuando llegamos al hotel era otro segun el IVA pero en si pague 500 mil pesos más de lo que decía la reserva
Good hotel with good location. Staff were always attentive. Excellent view in the room and gorgeous view at the rooftop pool. Breakfast was good, with one local dish that changed every day.
The only 2 issues I found are the following:
1) It mentioned the room has a “full-sized’ refrigerator. It was indeed a mini fridge, but it worked properly.
2) It is advertised as “on the beach” (2 minutes away). This is not true as it is indeed a 20-minute roundtrip walk, with an elevated pedestrian walkway to cross a main avenue. The 2- or 4-minutes’ walk indicated is not a safe option.
Please note that the ONLY reason I chose this hotel was because the “on beach” location. We were working from the hotel and wanted to enjoy the beach as much as possible, which wasn’t the case because it was too far away. For this reason, I request a PARTIAL refund, as it was incorrectly advertised in the Expedia description.
Good hotel for the price
Walking distance to beach
Must walk to a bridge to get to the other side of the road and your at the beach
