Hotel Oceanía en Laguito
Pros:

Destaco: Ubicación, Laguitos, muy cerca a la playa, a una cuadra aproximadamente, se puede ir hacia la zona del hotel Hilton y rentar camas asoleadoras por solo $20.000 y sillas a $10.000 por el día completo.
Espacio habitación: es bastante amplia, el aire acondicionado funciona super bien, tiene agua caliente en la ducha.
Limpieza: ofrecen limpieza diaria de la habitación
Servicio: me encantó que permitieran dejar las maletas y usar la piscina, ducha de la piscina después de haber entregado la habitación

Cons:

Es un poco viejo, no ofrece toalla de manos, ni jabón de manos, debes usar el que está en la ducha.
Mejoraría en el buffet: que la fruta tenga protección, hubo un huésped tosiendo encima de la fruta.

Do not recommend
Pros:

Early check in, everything else went downhill after the cockroach.

Cons:

There was a cockroach in the bathroom. The receptionist was kind, but he had to go upstairs and kill it himself. The air conditioning was dirty, and I don’t think they check for bedbugs. I’m allergic, and I had a rash afterward.
