This hotel has beautiful rooms with amazing views, however the service from the staff was less than adequate. There are no phones in the room, so you have to text the staff with any needs through the What's App app. We had a 10 day stay. Our 2nd day, AC went out, took 2 days to fix. The 4th day, the microwave went out, after repeated texts and in person requests, the microwave was never fixed during our entire stay. I requested coffee be delivered at 8am to our room, it never arrived. After repeated texts I was assured it would be delivered promptly, never got it. Around 5pm, the gate to the beach is locked so you have to get a staff member to let you out onto the beach. To get back in, you have to again, text them. After texting NUMEROUS times, and waiting for 45 minutes to be let back into the hotel, my husband and I had to scale the wall to get back inside. These are just a few examples of the poor customer service we received during our stay. Unfortunately, the service at this hotel is pretty bad, so much so, that even though we loved the room, the view and the location, we will not be staying here ever again.

The staff was horrible and rude to us when we got to the hotel. We asked for a room service and it arrived 40’ late and cold. We ordered a taxi and a lunch box for the morning and neither of those were there when we left for our expedition. Some of the charges on our bill weren’t from our room! We Never felt welcome at that hotel. The restaurant was fine. The concierge was the worst person at that hotel, rude, arrogant and incompetent.

Overall I liked the property, it is small and quiet. The room looks as presented online. I loved my balcony it was facing the ocean and private enough if I wanted to lay out in the nude. The hotel has only one restaurant and it closes at 10pm in addition all of their meals are kids portions. I actually lost one pound while staying 4 days and I am not exaggerating. The snack area is a vending machine that the front desk did not have change in exchange for pesos. For your return flight Be sure to schedule your COVID test upon arrival because they didn’t ask and if you forget you will need to get it at the airport. The hotel is not near shopping if that is your fancy. It’s a shame because I would stay again if they fixed what I consider a food and snack challenge.

The reason for the neutral ratings is because some rooms were being renovated while I was there so while trying to relax by the pool all I could hear was power tools. The resort and quality of the room I stayed in was otherwise fine, but the construction sounds were very disappointing and I didn’t know in advance that they would be happening during my stay.

The location is fantastic and so is ALL of the staff. But, the building itself needs lots of attention. We stayed in 3 different rooms because of a broken toilet, AC, sliding door to patio and plunge pool. We had a second toilet break, water leaking from the wall onto the floor and the black out shades didn't work. Those things we just lived with. I cannot say enough about how great the people are. They are the reason we still enjoyed our trip, despite all the issues.

This "Resort" was AWFUL!! There was black mold in our room. The AC vent was rusted and leaking water everywhere. The bedding smelled like mildew. The shower water never got warm, we ran it for close to 30 minutes before just giving up on warm water and rinsing in cool water. The giant glass bathroom door had fallen loose on the hinges and stuck on the floor and could not be opened or closed passed the halfway point. There was a loud hum/vacuum noise from the doors not sealing all the way, we had to put towels down to stop the noise. The ceiling looked as though it was about to fall down, the nails were rusted and popping out of the drywall and it was extremely wavy. I have photos and videos of everything. This place was nasty. They refused to let us cancel and refund the rest of our stay. We were scheduled for 6 nights. Instead I disputed the charges with our credit card. We stayed here less than 16 hours, and that was only because it took me a little while to get another resort lined up. They also charged additional fees upon check in that I'm not entirely sure what they were for. We were so happy to get out of there.

From the start we had issues even finding the hotel and when I called to get instructions they were unable to tell me exactly how to get to the hotel. Then I called back for more help with no answer to the phone. We finally found the hotel only to walk into a hotel that seemed very dirty and unkept. There were black dots all over the ceiling which I’m assuming is mold. There were rips in the couch and rust stains all over the floor. The curtains and couches had stains on them as well. The mirrors look worn down as well as the ironing boarding. I was scared to even use the ironing board on my clothes in fear of getting stains on them. The shower had little mold dots as well. Everything just feel extremely dirty, even the sheets had spots on them with a foul smell that smelt really old. Missing tiles in the tub on the outside of patio was another issue. I don’t even want to bring up the pool that was missing tiles as well as the drains busted out on the side. I have already contacted Expedia with these issues which they already tried contacting the hotel with no answer as well. We had to do an early checkout because of these issues and we are excepting a refund on the days we didn’t stay.

The property was exactly as described...small, quiet, and the staff was very hospitable and responsive. The rooftop restaurant did a great job with the nightly menu. It would be nice if the property allowed beach access to the south, no one could explain why the stairs on that side of the property were closed off.
