Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean and tidy. Staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Outdoor pool was clean, hardly any debris found in it. Some ants would gather near the garbage can. We notified front desk of this and they said they would add something to get rid of them but they remained. Didn’t both us really the ants were tiny. The views were great by the ocean - waking up to see the ocean everyday was wonderful. There’s an outdoor walkway that takes you to the road connecting to the beach. Unfortunately it was very windy and the waves were high - only surfers were seen entering the waters here."
