Dec 27, 2024Don’t expect to get a room until night
Worst hotel, long lines, they do not respect check in times so you wont get a room any time close to the check in, pools are overcrowded and there are not enough seats. If you are an international travel please stay away from this place, else you’ll spend precious time trying to get basic amenities and waste precious vacation time not to mention your patience.

Dec 26, 2024Not What You Think
First it is NOT on beach it is across from beach and hotel looks like a resort from outside but once inside you will see it is an old outdated hotel with small rooms and you hear everything from outside. There is no security in your room other than a latch over your door there is no deadbolt or anything. You can't control your air conditioning it is central. Staff is not hospitable and if you don't speak Spanish your in trouble cause there is no English and pool is very small and area is not clean. I highly suggest that you don't stay here.

Dec 05, 2024Surprised
The beds were comfortable. Rated 4.5. Staff was excellent and friendly. Even though I could not speak Spanish and most of them could not speak English, they made every effort to help accommodate me if they could including directions drinks service etc. my rating for friendliness and effort 5. Check in horrible. People some to arrive in droves at a time due to plane arrivals bus arrivals all inclusive packages in general. The issue is not enough space or staff for large group arrivals. Understand you are in hotel alley and space is limited. My rating for check in and out 1 but not staff fault only due to large groups all at once. Food not great but not bad. Limited choices but if you leave hungry it’s your own fault. Plenty of food and people serving or cleaning up. Food rating 3 food employees 5. Location 4. Beach 2. Our 3 day stay was tolerable and enjoyable. Our expections were lower due to reviews and expect much. Our experience was much better however mostly due to staff friendliness.

Gaines Party of 4
When going to the beach be ready for a constant flow of locals trying to sell things to you the entire time, including massages and getting your hair braided. The umbrella and chairs have the name of the resort of them but you pay the men hanging around to use. The room smelled all the time, the mini blinds should be trashed and there were no wash clothes provided. The entire place needs to be renovated and upgraded. Food was not available 24 hours each day at the resort. The bright spot is the staff were very sweet.
