This is where we do our mega marriage conferences / Family reunion . Mr. Barela, Jose, Carolina Castro , Casandra, y their staff , have always been there for us, very accommodating to our church and my family . They are always available. We pray with them and with the vendors at the beach . It’s nice to hear welcome home . The oregano restaurant is amazing , all of the specialty restaurants and the chef at the buffets make the best omelette and passion fruit juice.,Hodelpa staff made me feel loved during the loss of my mother and my dad . They always celebrated their bdays for the last 5 years . Looking forward to our next stay . Blessings and thank you for your great hospitality. Angela and Dan Sarasota , Florida

My bathroom in my first room was not very clean. The toilet did not flush very well. The toilet had very weak flushing. We got a different room and the issues was the same. My husband entered the room before me, he did not inspect the bathroom. The sink looked like someone vomited in it. The room itself appeared clean, but the bathrooms were visibly dirty. The staff was ok. The food was good.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emotions and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive to my every need. The room was immaculately clean, spacious, and beautifully appointed with modern amenities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The hotel's facilities, including the fitness center, pool, and restaurant, were top-notch. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. What truly sets [Hotel Name] apart, however, is the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend [Hotel Name] to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable stay. I will definitely be returning! *Highlights:* - Exceptional service - Clean and comfortable rooms - Top-notch facilities - Delicious food - Great location *Will I return?* Absolutely!

Overall stay was 8.5/10. The service staff were great, especially Eddie. The rooms were cleaned every day and fresh towels were left, which is a plus since other hotels we’ve been to don’t usually clean daily. The food in the main restaurant was ok, nothing special. The Mexican restaurant was my favorite. The ambience really took me back to Mexico and the food was spectacular. The drinks and bar service staff were nice. The only thing that we did not like was the insistent and aggressive marketing staff that tried to sell us memberships for the hotel. The guy even came up to our room to find out if we weren’t coming to his presentation and for a couple that’s on vacation, being pestered on a daily basis is quite frustrating and if I could change anything from the trip that would be it. Other than that, the experience was great.
