Esta es la tercera vez que nos quedamos aquí, es un excelente concepto de hotel pero lo descuidaron. La alberca siempre está sucia y da asco meterse, el desayuno muy tarde, demasiado limitado y comida echada a perder, hasta el agua fresca se les hace mala, (ejemplo, omelete sin relleno y 1 solo huevo); no tienen toallas y hasta el papel sanitario te lo racionan. La persona que hizo la limpieza se llevó cosas que no le pertenecían, en fín, es una lástima lo que ha mermado este hotel. Necesita una buena administración que se preocupe por mantener bien las instalaciones y el servicio. Como va de mal, no lo recomiendo para nada, menos si vas con niños que van a querer alberca.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Pros: The rooms were spacious, and each had its own bathroom. The in-suite pool was very convenient and enjoyable for the kids. Cons: The kitchen was not well stocked, there were not enough utensils, blankets, or towels, so consider bringing your own. Our room had been cleaned, but there was a very strong dirty mop smell that was extremely unpleasant. Breakfast was included, which was a plus, however, the selection was very limited and food ran out quickly. At checkout, we were charged an additional fee due to an alleged staff error during check-in. It was unclear whether this charge was legitimate, which felt concerning. The staff was not rude, but they were not particularly friendly either. Overall, it was an acceptable stay for the price, and the location was convenient due to its proximity to nearby parks.

I wouldn't stay again. Yes it is an cheap, expensive place. Ans as they say you get what you paid for. They did not want to wash the sheets, yes I was charged extra. The manager said I had to pay for the sheets I agreed if I kept the sheets. After I paid he took them and still charged me. #visa

I have stayed here several times the last few years. because it is very convenient. Clean, modern, great pool, staff are very plesant. I will stay here again when in need to. My only constant disappointment is the food. It won't make you sick but nothing is tasty or thoughtful. Honestly, the kitchen has no training or interest in food preperation.

The front desk crew was very kind but the room upon entering we found a GIANT live scorpion and a few large cockroaches, the kids weren’t able to get comfortable after that so we left shortly thereafter. The hotel has so much potential just needs a little TLC in cleaning and upkeep (pest control) the rooms were huge and lots of space, but overall upkeep was iffy and lacking. We would have stayed if the scorpion situation hadn’t happened. The staff was great, and I know we’re in a jungle but try convincing a 3 year old who’s overtired that there’s only those 3 giant bugs in her room and it’s fine to go to sleep.

This hotel has false advertising, rooms are very dirty, sheets were smelly and people's hair were all over the bed, I asked for clean ones and they didn't had none... Bathroom was nasty, dirty and smelly. If you are looking for a decent clean place this is not it please trust me on this one.

The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. This isn’t a big hotel or resort. It's an inn...kind of like a bed and breakfast. The restaurant had limited, very basic options, the towel changes happen every 2/3 days only...overall the photos are accurate, just pay attention to what's in each room based on what you need. Taxis are easy to get to and from here so that's good too.

Pictures Lie

Extremely disappointed. Room had some nice features but there is obviously no upkeep or maintenance being done. Sink, faucet, and what looked like a Jacuzzi in the back were completely disgusting. Indoor pool had a rust or mold stain on the steps. Main pool looked like it wasn’t cleaned in weeks, cabana sofa disgustingly dirty. Bed sheets didn’t fit the bed, some were stained, and the comforter looked disgusting. Stove top but no pots or pans to cook with and vey few utensils and cups. The free breakfast basically was the same every day, either two eggs in three different styles, no meats, or two pancakes. If you want anything extra they charge you.
