Based on others reviews of this place, we thought we were getting a pretty good deal. Much less expensive than other properties. Sometimes, as the same goes,… You get what you pay for! The staff was quite kind. The property was clean, those seemed a little dark and stark. HOWEVER… It was advertised that you could use the beach next-door at Friendly’s Hotel… That Was True. EXCEPT… You could use the beach, but not the lounge chairs or purchase any food or drinks there because it was an all-inclusive. Not convenient or pleasant at all. The rooftop pool was nice and, again, waitstaff was attentive and pleasant.The room was OK. Nice view of the surrounding mountains… But very noisy with street sounds at night! Earplugs solved that problem for us. The hotel zone is a fine area to stay, if we come back, we’ll probably stay in the romantic zone… Just kind of preference as far as that goes.
