"Make sure they give you guys the right directions I had 3 hours looking for the location to be told when I got to " Santa Fe " that is was at the wrong location and then they also did not answer the phone to help me. It was a horrible experience and they wouldn't give me my money back!"
"The communication for airport pickup was excellent, the check-in process was easy, the restaurant on premise was really good food. The room was clean, and cleaned everyday. The location of the hotel is great within 5 minutes of Playa Alicia and 8 minutes from Sosua Beach. I will stay again."
