Me gustó mucho el servicio al cliente tanto de la recuperación como la cocinera . Todos fueron súper amables y serviciales. Muy buena actitud y presentación. Lo único malo es que si está retirado para ir al centro pero para todo hay solución UBER. Gracias por sus atenciones.

This hotel was in the perfect location. It was walking distance from the beach and there was a hotel on site. My only two issues were that I found these tiny ant-like bugs in my room on the floor. I also didn’t like that I had a shared balcony with a room next to me (the girls were partying all night). Other than that, I was pleased with my stay.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
I WAS ROBBED BY A MAN WITH A MACHETE ON A BEACH AROUND 8 AM, next to this hotel.
There wasn't WATER in the hotel in the morning. The toilet wasn't flushing and I even couldn't wash my face. Staff is friendly there but nobody speaks English. Even a little bit. I couldn't stay in that stinky room (there is humidity there so if there is no water room stinks almost immediately), so I went to the beach a bit earlier than I planned.
IT IS UNSAFE THERE. I'm giving this hotel a negative star for safety. Stay in the hotels 1km closer to the airport. That area is more in control by police who is by the way friendly and helpful but don't speak English either

First the picture of the bedrooms are mis leading . Let's start with the
pro:
1. Staff very friendly
2. Across the road from the beach
3. A supermarket on the ground floor
4. Rooms fairly clean
Cons:
1. This is not suited for a couple as the room are very basic ( bed, TV, side lamp table).
2. Walk with your own towels ( hotel own poor quaility)
3. No elevator and i was on the 4th floor
4. Noisy area, one neighbor played music night and day
5. Power went for 1 day and no generator , even the neighbor had a generator to play music whole day
Basically if you are single and just looking for a resting spot this may suit your needs, as i mentioned not suited for a couple.

Nothing seemed to work well. It started with the lock that was loose, flimsy doors, easy to break in, not a secure place at all, faulty AC, no internet, no TV service. Very bad.
