Our stay was excellent; the facilities and staff were very welcoming. The only suggestion I would make is to include fresh seafood options on the menu—such as ceviche, for example—but otherwise, everything was fantastic.

Overall we had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. We also really enjoyed that the hotel is adults only, which made the atmosphere very relaxing. The only issue was the AC in our room, it didn’t cool enough, and other guests mentioned it had been like that for a few days. Hopefully that gets fixed soon because everything else about the hotel was great.
