Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It is a nice place to relax, there is no TV. Only one menu option and nothing really nearby to have a bit so the hotel's menu is basically your only choice. Prices are high in my opinion, the food is good. Staff friendly, although not like in other destinations we have been to, particularly in Mexico. The little beach of the hotel is very nice. I would not recommend anyone to stay more than 3 days, at least I wouldn't normally do that.

Nice people that wanted to be helpful but the place was not that nice. On the older side and upkeep could be improved. Bare amenities. No gym. No tv. Service at dinner and breakfast was slow and needs improvement. Beach/water left a lot to be desired

Really nice hotel. A little disappointed that, while our check in was delayed 30 minutes, we had to be out immediately at noon. Also, it was crowded.
