Vacation Review Budget First off, we do like to take vacations that are “luxurious” but we also take a lot of low budget trips to go away more often and see new places. This review is a budget review 2 things matter most to us 1 cleanliness and 2 a pool We are content with a basic room as long as we have beds and a bathroom and they are clean (a TV is nice but we have devices to watch content on) Cleanliness rating 9 Room rating 5, the room with the sofa bed is too uncomfortable to sleep on and had weak water pressure and the AC leaked into the room, the rooms are small but that was expected. Room amenities, AC, TV Hotel/condo/VRBO rating 7 Amenities, pool Pool rating 10, good sun and shade as sun sets with warm water Staff rating 10 Restaurant rating/options, n/a Location to things, a lot close but has to be driven/taxi If you’re looking for budget, I would and wouldn’t recommend, if you need the sofa bed it’s impossible to sleep on If you can share a double or are single I’d go back This review does not take restaurant food in the consideration There are plenty of (excellent) options nearby in driving distance

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was included and very tasty. Our room was bare bones, the toilet didn't seem to work properly and we were kind of concerned the sheets hadn't been properly cleaned. Other than that, we'd recomdend this hostel still to anyone simply because of the friendliness of the staff.

Beautiful property, sheets were always dirty getting clean towels seemed to always be an issue as well Jas having hot water in the room or water overall. Far from downtown, you have to get a cab leading to an over priced price.

Fair

Fair hotel for the price to spend the night as you travel from one place to the other or if you are planning to take tours for the whole day. Lots of rules for everything, even bed sheets. They ask you to sign a document and charge 80 usd for dirty linens. Breakfast is modest but ok.

Overall a good stay with lovely staff.

Located a bit out of town but taxis cheap and they will happily call one for you when needed. Rooms quite small but ok for one. Very comfortable bed. Shower pressure a bit weak. Staff lovely and very helpful. Good WiFi. Also lovely pool. Could do with more basics like glasses and fridge in room as nothing available to buy on site. Also could do with soundproofing rooms as can hear everything. Overall a good stay so comments meant to be constructive.

We enjoyed our two nights at this hotel. It was clean and safe, and the water was hot. The clerk who checked us in, Carlos, was super friendly and helped us book a trip to the lagoon (which is not to be missed). We would stay there again and look forward to our return to the area.

They only have the “Caribbean breakfast” which is two slices of fruit. One melon and one papaya. Or cereal which they run out. Coffee or juice which are disgusting. They need to improve a lot. The price was expensive for what they offer.

Kitchen service staff - a black mark the property

The accommodation was good. So was the pool, neat and blue. 1. But we realized in end of the day that the door, in spite of being locked inside/outside with just a push it could be opened. They could not fix it even over the next. day. 2. The front office reception staff both were courteous. However the breakfast service person/cook was totally unwelcoming. a. We went for coffee at 7.50am and he made some noise about giving us coffee. I did not mind paying for it. But sounded real complaining in spanish. b. We were 3 of us. during bfast, We just chose coffee and bread. He have us 1 slice each. We request for one more slice..and he made a lot of noise in spanish with the reception staff for just one more slice. Ultimately ...we waited and he never bothered to give us. Simply disappointing .
