Hotel cerca de la playa, con cuartos pequeños, el baño no tiene aire acondicionado, necesitas dejar la puerta abierta lo que es realmente incómodo. Necesita más manutención, algunos rincones se miran sucios o con moho lo que no ayuda si eres alérgico. No está a la altura de llamarse Hilton. Por último tienen transporte a la playa pero no es “gratis”, el conductor no pide “exige” tips de 3 a 5 dólares por pasajero, sale más conveniente viajar en uber o pelear por un parqueo gratis, Si gratis en la playa.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff, available stores and restaurants were nice, but didn’t like the lack of continental breakfast selections (it was the same everyday). The housekeeping service was poor due to not having the room/bathroom cleaned well nor on time.

I like that there’s a lot of options around to go to shopping or eating wise very close to the beach. Me and my family didn’t care for the lady that works the bar. She’s kind of rude. stayed over for other people, but on our first day there rushed to get out of there and didn’t provide very friendly service When we were about to get a drink.

Best part of our trip

Location was perfect for our destination. Quiet, comfortable and clean. Staff was very efficient at check in and super attentive during our stay. Coffee was always available and breakfast was just enough for a day at the beach.
