8.6/10 Excellent! (1,743 reviews)
I don't know why some people trashed this great 5 star hotel. I stayed at the Megapolis hotel from September 30th to October 5th and i had a great freaking time. Staff was amazing especially Vanessa at the Ciao restaurant and Valentina at the Stadium bar. There is a lot to do in this hotel, from an infinity pool to great restaurants, bars and an outlet with a whole bunch of stores. The suite that i stayed in, was perfect with a big room, living room, two bathrooms and a hot tub, i even had a balcony on the 16th floor looking at the Pacific Ocean. I give this place a 5 star rating. Thank you for everything Megapolis!

9.8/10 Exceptional! (30 reviews)
I would highly recommend, the service I received was impeccable and just a wonderful experience! I was a bit hesitant regarding the location but once I got there, it turned out to be perfect.
The concierge staff was such a pleasure to work with especially ‘Jerry’, who provided recommendations and information. This was such a blessing to us.
I would stay here again in a heart beat.
It’s a must stay!
