Stay Away

I booked 3 suites and a regular room for 5 nights. 4 days with no hot water. Each day we told the front desk and they said they would call maintenance with no sumpathy. We had a busy work trip and could not shower. Day 2 the water started smelling really bad, a toxic chemical smell. The hotel guests were not notified of this. On day 4 When we asked we were told they were “purifying” the water. I asked why we were not notified and magically within an hour we received a letter under our door notifying us. We had to use bottled water to brush our teeth. Bottled water was not replenished daily either. On our last day my son got violently ill with a stomach virus. We took him to a doctor and was told that it was due to contaminated water most likely from the hotel purification. Hotel did nothing to offer alternative solutions or compensate besides offering a free dinner at there restaurant on the last day. 2 star hotel at best. Hotel management has not acknowledged or responded to date.

Wonderful location and great staff. Especially Ricardo did extra effort to make sure we get a great experience. The hotel is close to the waterfront which is a main advantage. While the rooms could be slightly enhanced. Also, why ask about the arrival time if none of the rooms will be ready at that time?!

I was very disappointed. The property was run down, maid service was very poor, furniture was worn, one day we only had lukewarm water in the shower. The maid did not come during the day. So we called in the late afternoon requesting sheets, towels and coffee. They changed the sheets and took the old towels but did not bring any towels or coffee pods. So we called later in the evening and they brought towels but only sugar - no coffee. Just limited attention to detail and service. At best this is a 3 star hotel. I would never stay here again.
