The pool and beach and staff are wonderful. Very clean! But our room was very outdated. Again- clean but boy does it need some updates. Our television did not work as they just messed with the cable a little bit and shrugged. The workout facility was closed for repairs and they started construction in the hallways at 9am sharp. The elevator needed work while we were there. We almost got stuck. There were no stairs?? So we used the housekeeping elevators which worked fine. The food was good- breakfast is the best! Great location and within walking distance to a cool area with restaurants and bars and shops. Nightly entertainment was an added bonus and fun to watch. We were there for the beach and it was stunning and the water was amazing. Had to get up at 6am to reserve a hut on the beach otherwise you were out of luck. Great overall stay!

Regular experiencia

El edificio tres donde nos enviaron al piso octavo, no tenía ascensor, tocaba ir por el ascensor de servicio y daba asco, desde el ingreso a una puerta, donde había cosas tiradas, colchones, cunas, es un lugar horrible, las condiciones generales del hotel son malas, muy viejas y nada que ver con las fotos, el sofá cama de la habitación tenía un colchón muy sucio y lleno de óxido.

Out second time here..there are a few things that were declined from last year…namely only 1 working elevator and the fitness center was closed. All the staff is outstanding. The food was pretty much as good as last year…we don’t bother with the restaurants and just enjoy the buffet. We heard they are going to start major renovations soon, but we will probably be back in 2026

well on check in even through we chose 2 beds, verified hotel prior to arrival we got one bed .staff said too bad that is all that's avail - delivered a horrible folding cot up - then upon arriving back after dinner we discovered they had left our door WIDE open , desk clerk Naomi tried to play it off and was accusatory stated that couldn't be as the staff had been there a while and wouldn't do that . lord knows how long it was open .agreed to move us in the am to a room w 2 beds. the next am was awoken by construction crew hammering away at 0700 in full blast . arrived to new room later that days and it was defiantly still 1 bed still with the entire room smelling of must and mildew.TV did not work . when called the front desk was told well you got a upgrade . I did not want to spend the entire vac sharing a bed but had no choice. food options are limited to basically the buffet . the closeness to the beach and easy access to other restaurants was the highlight .
