What a beautiful hotel that overlooks the bay. We stayed here for a week in March in one the Delphin rooms with 2 King beds on the main floor. Very spacious room with a great deck and a limited view of the bay. From the moment we checked in, everything went extremely well! Had a rental car, but for the first 3 days just hung out at the hotel - great food with pool service, pools, beach, internet access, excellent service by staff and 2 free bottles of water included daily. No shops nearby (10-15 min outside of the Malecon area), but Wal-Mart is in walking distance. Nice and peaceful! Only complaint was that their hot tub wasn't heated (apparently it was getting repaired) and the excercise room needs a bit of TLC. It was interesting to witness how many women came dressed up with a photographer in tow to get their pictures taken by the sandy beach/palm trees/pools. We felt privaledged to be there. Great setting for a wedding and other functions. Wireless throughout. Peaceful setting. Taxis all around, but we had our own rental car. Could walk to Wal-Mart, and the Malecon was about 15 min away by car. Want to come back next year in Feb to snorkel with Whale Sharks!
