So Lovely
Everyone here was so lovely. The shuttle driver was there to meet us at the airport. The breakfast host was superior, bringing us native fruits and telling us about them. He even made a balloon animal for a child there. Would highly recommend.

Bad shuttle sevice.
The shuttle never showed up at the designated site #13 at the airport. Waited for an hr. Hotel email states every 20 min shuttle service. Then took the taxi. Too many guys there try to get money from you and the taxi wants $50 to go one km to hotel. So had a very bad exprience. And other clients might have the same experience. This was the second time. Happening. Hope the manger of the hotel correct this problem. Thank you.

Best hotel by the airport
So perfect to have right by the airport. We stayed here for one night on either end of our trip. They are super nice and the rooms are great. The shuttle is extremely convenient. Will always stay here if we need to stay by the airport!

The property is close to Danny's and a Mexican chain restaurant that is very good. The wifi in the room is terrible. Good in the lobby. We picked it because of the early morning free shuttle to the airport.
Blankets and pillows could be improved. TV had only 2 English stations Fox and Bloomberg. To put movies on the TV from your phone you need an app called Air something which i didn’t have.

Wonderful but noisy
The hotel and staff were excellent the food was fantastic they only issue we found was noise. Between the airplane noise and slamming of the doors all day and night we rarely got any rest
