Estratégicamente las instalaciones nos sirvieron para movilizarnos por lancha a otros bellos lugares. Aspectos de mejora: el agua potable en las habitaciones y la comida (almorzamos Steak el día que llegamos pero no nos gusto ni a mí ni a mis hijos), Éxitos, saludos cordiales

Always a pleasure staying here, we've done it many times. The only suggestion would be to try to help reduce mosquitos (zancudos) inside the room, we spent quite some time killing a lot since I'm alergic to the bite

An ok place, very poorly managed. The hotel itself is beautiful, aside from a dozen or so unfinished buildings in the back lot that give it a creepy vibe. (A couple have full grown trees growing up through the middle of the floor.) The management is atrocious and the rooms are furnished with cheap crap they seem to have bought in the local market. The low light of my trip was when the full length mirror on the wall spontaneously fell apart (the cheap plastic frame came apart at the corners) and crashed to the ground in pieces. The hotel charged ME for that. I mean it wasn’t much— $17 or so— but I didn’t even touch it, and I specifically told them I refused to pay for it, and they just charged my card anyway. So I hope they enjoy their $17 because I won’t be coming back.

The hotel was very nice, the staff was pleasant and willing to help with any needs. The food options were plenty and tasted delicious. The only recommendation I would have is to put a fresh coat of paint in some of the areas. However, that wouldn’t stop me from staying here again.

This is a nice hotel but the pool was not open as advertised. Hot tub was too dirty to use. Restaurant food was not good. Rooms and atmosphere was good and front desk was friendly .
