The staff was absolutely amazing very kind and helped with whatever we needed. The room was very clean. The breakfast was very good as well, I would totally stay again
I was at this hotel a week ago before I flew to La Paz,Bolivia and there was no toaster in the buffet room. They sent me an email saying that they had gotten a toaster and when I returned from Bolivia, there was a toaster.!!! the staff is excellent here and they listen to people‘s issues. Everyone was very helpful. It’s a great location because it’s 10 minutes from the airport..
The staff were extremely helpful and courteous.
The first rooms we got were not up to the standards so we asked for better ones and they did relocated us.
The breakfast was delicious with lots of options.
The swimming pools were clean and the fact that the hotel was close to the beach was great.
Hot Tub not hot. Just warm. Breakfast was free so who complains about free food. Well attended to. Beautiful fresh fruits and juices. Very comfortable bed.
I enjoyed the open space concert i has the feel of a resort. I loved the room and it's location and the staff was incredibly attentive

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms specially bathrooms need remodeling very soon. Noticed black mold that can be cleaned with products. There is no need to have it there. Besides that nice location.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a problem with the door lock and the balcony door lock but the staff was helpul trying to fix the problem. Breakfast was very good and the pool and pool area was very nice
