There was no phone in the room. When I checked in, what I reserved, was not what was received as part of my package. The agreement they wanted me to sign was in Spanish and didn’t provide me with one in English or explain what it said. There weren’t any comforters or big blankets on the bed, just a top sheet, and the room was freezing. The checkout process was odd. We were locked in, until someone went upstairs to check the room out before we left for our flight. The water pressure was amazing though, it was clean and the restaurant staff were great!

A Regrettable Experience - Not Recommended We booked an "all-inclusive" stay through Expedia for nine days, but the experience was disappointing. The hotel was in poor condition—our room had a broken door handle, faulty air conditioning, stained bed covers, a rusty fridge, and a TV that didn't work. Housekeeping only made the beds and replenished toilet paper, leaving the shower uncleaned. The "all-inclusive" plan had unreasonable restrictions. Drinks were limited to mojitos, Cuba Libre, piña colada, or beer, and we were charged for items that should have been included. The food was repetitive, lacked variety, and wasn’t buffet-style. Breakfast service ended earlier than stated, and snacks were pre-selected, with poor quality. Dinner service had cracked glasses and bent cutlery, while staff were generally unhelpful. Other issues included moldy pool showers, unbearable loud music, a strong sewage smell near the lobby, and excessive street noise. A request for birthday decorations went unanswered. The only positives were the hotel's location, the friendly pool bartender, and a pleasant welcome. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and we do not recommend this hotel.

Not recommended

picture is very deceiving! It was very dirty & not maintained. Pictures might of taken when they first open. Pool is very very small. Pillows were super hard & Maud service only made the bed. No fresh towels and shower was never cleaned. Breakfast was disappointing. Everything tasted like its been over cooked & reheated few times. Door handle was loose so I wasn't sure if door was lock properly. Microwave was barely hanging on the wall.

The hotel was conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore shops and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed the all-inclusive package. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing, with hair found in various areas. The dinner buffet offered a limited selection that wasn't to my taste. Overall, the hotel served its purpose for a short stay, but improvements in cleanliness and dining options would enhance the experience.
