When I first checked in, they put me in a room that was absolutely awful and told the pool was out of order. I called in to request a hotel change and was told that wasnt an option but was given an upgrade. The new room was nice but had just had renovations completed. I had to put batteries in the safe and the remotes. The floor was still under construction and there was noise all day and well into the night. Also, the elevator only worked half the time and there were no handrails to walk down 3 flights of stairs. The breakfast is decent but the breakfast room is under construction so enjoy trying to find a spot in their 6 tables off the lobby and sitting in folding chairs. This could all be forgiven except for the absolute lack of any decent customer service. The front desk staff is actively unpleasant, none of the porters speak even one word of english nor know how to smile, yet stand there looking for a tip and the vibe at this place is not one of welcome. I spilled a bright colored drink and used a towel to clean it and they charged me for a towel, Which was understandable until they charged me 400 Pesos for a crappy white towel and held my room key hostage until I paid. After spending the week at a similarily priced hotel 2 blocks away I know that this isn’t the standard. I will NEVER consider this hotel again and will actively not recommend. Not sure how they got such a good rating to start with because they sure didnt earn it from me.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Property could be better maintained and rooms need more maintenance, but overall it felt like home. Breakfast was delicious and enough variety (eggs, coffee, beans, meats and some mexican dishes, fresh fruits). Staff was great too. Best part was the location. Steps away from beautiful beach, good food was right around the corner and everything was convenient.

The safe did not work. The showerhead was tuck into a small corner with no water pressure and limited hot water. Walls are super thin, and can hear the cleaners and neighbors walking down the hallway and slamming doors. Wifi was given but the connection was non-existent. The beds were ok.

Primero la tarjeta de la habitación fue un problema, pero esto es común y no suele ser un gran lio, el problema es la habitación, esta muy descuidado, el techo del baño esta repleto de humedad y mala condicion, al ducharte toda el agua sale al baño haciendo un enorme charco.

The customer service was excellent. Cesar is a wonderful doorman and deserves a raise as do the rest of the staff. The free breakfast was very good, especially the fresh fruits. Beyond that the top 3 floors were under renovations, we didn't have access to the pool on the roof, due to the Hurricane in October. The wifi was choppy, tv was broken, our view on the balcony was blocked by construction equipment. There was metal rod sticking out of the floor, shower needs some work, and it would be nice if there were mini fridges in the rooms. The AC was very good n cold. We also stayed 8 nights and felt extremely safe.
