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.
