The staff were very friendly and good at their jobs. The food was good.

The grounds were perfect for 5 days and 4 nights of relaxation and water activities. When not laying out on the comfy beachside beds, we booked a tour and visited islands, participated in the yoga class, and kayaked. Service in general was slower-paced than we are used to in the states, but that is a good thing. Staff were really fun and accommodating of our group. Looking forward to returning. ##### Yvette Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It is a nice place to relax, there is no TV. Only one menu option and nothing really nearby to have a bit so the hotel's menu is basically your only choice. Prices are high in my opinion, the food is good. Staff friendly, although not like in other destinations we have been to, particularly in Mexico. The little beach of the hotel is very nice. I would not recommend anyone to stay more than 3 days, at least I wouldn't normally do that. ##### Carlos Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luis 19 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities First the food is amazing, go for lunch or better dinner. Unfortunately this hotel faces the dreaded Cholon party scene. And its every day from 10-4. Thumping non stop. This is not the place to relax, during peak season it goes beyond unbearable. The rooms are fine, nothing unique about them, good enough. The facilities and "beach" is fine too. Again great great food even better than Islas Hotel but the music is unbearable ##### Luis Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick 7 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Ok, so you come to this place for three things...the food, the level of service and the solitude. Those 3 things can't be beat. The food is out of this world! The rooms need some TLC, and a pool would be nice. That being said, I would return here in a heartbeat. In fact, I plan on it. In all transparency, Im not an animal person so would do away with the pet-friendly part, but have to say I was not personally hindered by the small dogs that were present. I can just see somebody thinking it appropriate to bring large or aggressive dogs. ##### Patrick Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Myra 8 Aug 2023 Nice people that wanted to be helpful but the place was not that nice. On the older side and upkeep could be improved. Bare amenities. No gym. No tv. Service at dinner and breakfast was slow and needs improvement. Beach/water left a lot to be desired ##### Myra Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cicily 19 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful location; Mediocre hotel There was a strange vibe at this hotel amongst the staff. The receptionists and manager were extremely friendly, but the rest of the staff were outwardly disgruntled and unfriendly. I’m not sure what was going on behind the scenes there. The rooms I stayed in were both over the kitchen. There was a constant humming and strong vibration that you could feel and hear constantly. I don’t think they should put anyone in these rooms as they are so un peaceful! Be advised that if you book private transport, the hotel is gauging the transportation company! They forgot to pack all of my belongings into the car (though they told me they had), and then when we had to turn around, they changed the driver of the car for the extra time! This was a harsh thing to do, considering that drivers in Colombia make next to nothing! ##### Cicily Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dayse 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Dayse Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rafael 11 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sentimientos encontrados...
