Property itself was decent. Pool was clean, area right by the beach was very nice. Plenty of places to sit and the bar was nice. Service was great. The rooms were not that nice. Water pressure was poor most of the time and no hot water. Room itself was ok but we expected more for the price we paid. ##### Leonel Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jose 23 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The food was late They need more staff ##### Jose Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen 7 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The front desk person was rude and unprofessional. At booking it said. Check in at 10am check out next day at 6pm, she said that was wrong because it’s only for 24hrs. They only gave us 1 towel for a 2 person stay. When I requested another one she gave me one dirty full of stains. The food is expensive and very small portions. The pool is also very small. ##### Karen ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cesar 3 Jan 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel room bathrooms need cleaned. Toilet handle gets stuck so i had to take toilet tank lid off to flush the toilet. If you leave the property, they close the gates at nights. The outside showers and bathrooms are very run down and missing half the door with no where to hang your clothes/towel. The outdoor bathrooms are absolutely disgusting! Restaurant servers were all very nice but the kitchen is super slooooow expect and hour wait. ##### Cesar Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jose 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service The place is nice, but they don't have an extensive menu and many of the dishes were missing, the rooms where I stayed don't have Wi-Fi and it said they did but only in the main lounge and restaurant area there is no Wi-Fi, and the restaurant was already closed at 7 pm so we had to go look for dinner elsewhere, at the bar I honestly ordered a margarita but it was the worst margarita I've ever had. ##### Jose Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Iliana Jasel 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Iliana Jasel Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roger 8 Mar 2025 ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jorge A 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good ##### Jorge A Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Rolando 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/80018F6D9A829E1A89C64FACB541CE240185F3ED1739735350093.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jose Rolando Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jose 9 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This place was very good,, staff and Facilities alike Easily accessed to the beach. ##### Jose Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mirna 2 Jan 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cae muy poca agua en la habitación, no habían toallas ni sábanas en las camas, ##### Mirna Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Linda 1 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Dhakkotha 28 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La propiedad bien pero habitacion con polvo y no toallas ##### Dhakkotha Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nestor 15 Dec 2024 Está bien sólo q no proveen jabón Pero el lugar está bien ##### Nestor Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024
