We loved this hotel and will be coming back here for sure. It's a boutique, so no hounding of timeshare pitches! It was very conveniently located, great view from our room and we felt very safe. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The beach was just steps from the lobby. Breakfast was perfect, not extravagant, but enough to get you going for the day til lunch. The two things that weren't great, that others have mentioned, was that you can't flush toilet paper in the toilet, so that took a little getting used to. We did find that to be the case at a few restaurants on the Malecon also. The other thing was that the bar across the street played loud music until 1am or so. Prices of everything was good. Pool service was very nice. The pool was a little chilly!
