Absolutely nothing to do. Only 1 pool, 1 restaurant & a snack bar. View from pool is great. Food is trash besides the snack bar food which is pretty good but it closes at 5pm. Also drinks are watered down. Property needs updating. Don’t waste your time coming here.

Expedia needs to reevaluate this property. The amenities they offer are not valid. The only good part about this property is the restaurant staff and food. The manager just lies about everything he can to make himself not look at fault. If you’re looking for a low-key place with very few amenities then this would be a place for you. Otherwise, do not book this hotel. Please Expedia reevaluate the rating on this hotel and what they’re actually offering before you ruin somebody else’s vacation.

The room was really nice I would definitely stay there again definitely a place for couples to had fun there was adult content in the tv food was limited but it was still good very standard American food hamburgers hotdogs wish they had more options for food. That was my only complaint my recommendation to anyone staying here or in any other hotel rent a car the airport taxi service abuses over $70 $100 for any run while a car rental was $20 it didn’t make any sense I didn’t leave the hotel much cause every run was really expensive

Terrible place. Didn't have proper description. Its a small boutique hotel and no resort in very poor condition. Booked it for a week and got scared when we arrived that we will be stuck in this place for 7 days. Literally, the place has nothing to do, no beach access, just a small pool. No buffet, just one small restaurant with bed food. Also very poor maintaining place, lots of dust, rust and brocken stuff. Not sure if can attach pictures. But Expedia as an agency did very well, canceled our stay at senses and moved us to the amazing resort Iberostar just next to it.

The pictures are overstated, and the property is being remodeled. The water from the sink was brown, so I brushed my teeth with water from a water bottle. I booked 4 nights, but I only stayed 1 night, and they charged me for a massage that I didn't get. I'm still getting daily charges on my credit card. The staff was nice. Maybe once it is completed and remodeled, it will be a decent place.

It’s different in the aspect that there’s not a lot to do on the actual resort compared to others.you don’t have to wait for ANYTHING, and it’s a very personal experience. Still all of the normal things, like pool, and game room. I think the game room should be updated a bit for rainy days especially. The staff is very friendly, and they treat you like family. I recommend this place if your wanting a quiet stay.

Nasty! Let me just say the staff there were very friendly. Check in was easy and fast. We were greeted and given our room keys which are wrist bands. We were supposed to get welcome drinks but if you come past 3pm, you’re out of luck because that’s the cut off time for the drinks. The property itself was VERY underwhelming. The property sits wayyyy back. There’s a long bumpy, pot-hole filled road that leads you back there. Upon entering the room, you’re hit with a STRONG older of mold. It smelled like an old basement but times 10. And that was the “upgrade”. We asked to be moved into another room because the smell was so strong. Well the new room smelled the same. The room was very spacious but dirty and run down. The room was dusty, there was an old dead moth that was stuck to the tub, a cockroach in the closet on the floor, the coffee pot still had coffee in it that contained mold, even in the coffee filter. The outside pools and hot tubs were run down and nasty. There was algae growing in one of the outside showers. As far as the restaurant, drinks were good but the food was not. Ordered a shrimp appetizer and they only bring out two shrimps lol. I thought it was a joke. Tacos were bare minimum. We even went to the store to buy cleaning products and incense thinking we could get rid of the smell. But that didn’t work. We ended up leaving the hotel because it was horrible and went and stayed at another hotel closer to the airport.

This hotel is not what was advertised on expedia. Driving down the road to the hotel felt very unsafe, desolate and gave an uneasy feeling. The hotel itself looked to be under repair and the front desk looked like someones home setup. Staff was minimal so service was horrible. Had one restaurant that had very limiting food options in the menu. Restaurant itself was leaking water everywhere from the ceiling. The room had mold all over the doors, curtains were rusted and broken. Lamps didnt work. The ac unit in the room was leaking water to the floor towards the bed. The pictures made it look like the property had beach right in front but you actually have to walk away from property to get it. Ended up leaving same day because of all these conditions and finding a better place with so much more for almost same price. Strongly do not recommend this place as i felt completely deceived as a customer.

The resort barely qualifies as a resort. The rooms were cold and damp throughout the entire stay, with no hot water available in any of them. To make things worse, the water coming out of the sinks was rusty and brown. We had to change rooms several times during our week-long stay due to these issues. The poolside bar, which only stays open until 5 pm, served just one type of beer that tasted watered down. The location is isolated, surrounded by jungle, and a car is essential to get anywhere. That said, the staff were fantastic, with Hernán standing out for his exceptional service. The food was surprisingly good, with beautiful, fine dining presentation that added a positive touch to an otherwise disappointing experience.
