It was fine. Very expensive for the value received. Felt like an outpost of an American resort. Lacked authenticity. Located in an empty ghost town. Felt like being on a cruise but on land. Also the food didn’t feel fresh. It was definitely frozen even though they denied it. Just felt kind of lame over all.

Nothing regarding our vip status was honored. Was to have had amenities so that a two week stay would be convenient then property said 2K to upgrade? Was supposed to have a private balcony but was shared with people sitting right outside our bed basically. Talking noisy. Food offered was minimal and very little options. Pool was ice cold and very very tiny enough for maybe 4 guests at a time. Safe did not work. No laundry services as promised. No breakfast as promised. No grocery or help for concierge services as promised. Checked out (paid full amount manager wouldn’t respond to a chat to fix). Had to move to another facility that offered what we were supposed to be getting with another 2400 price tag attatched. Really disappointed and felt catfished by hotel and ******* for not stepping in to help.

Beautiful property and location in Las Catalina’s, surf shop, beach and restaurants out your doorstep. Rooftop pool and nearby beach club also amazing.

We loved the community and found many options. Only thing I would say is staff was not to willing to provide food options that were outside of the hotel.

This place sits in such a unique natural environment. The surroundings incl access to the sea, beaches and walking trails makes it a perfect spot.

Terrible experience. I stayed here with my son for about a week. Although it's next to the beach, the area is surrounded by construction, with almost no shops and poor transportation options. Staff were unprofessional and unhelpful—no activity brochures, no useful advice, and they only cared about charging you. The taxi from the hotel to the airport was quoted at $180, while Uber would cost around $70, but they chased away my Uber driver! One of the worst hotel stays I've ever had. Avoid this place and stay closer to Flagmin Beach instead.

It’s a lovely building but needs a refresh. The pool is tiny and is typically congested. The food is good with plenty of options. However most all items at the breakfast buffet were somehow deep fried. The beach access needs a place to rinse off - the black sand from the beach is annoying.

Wonderful property and Las Catalinas is amazing. Would love to see more chairs on the shared balconies, and fans in the bathrooms. But those are nit picky, and the rest is excellent.
