Categories

Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviewers explicitly praised cleanliness ("Nice clean hotel", "Very clean", "Rooms were clean", "Muy limpio"). Overall impressions are strongly positive.
Service
7.8
Service is generally friendly and helpful (several mentions, plus a staff member 'Prisella' singled out), but there are service problems reported (room lockout/registration confusion and slow room change after A/C failure) that reduce the score.
Location
9.5
Location is a frequent strength: beachfront, short walk to the beach, boardwalk nearby and 'literally 2 minute walk' cited — consistently praised.
Room Quality
7.6
Rooms are described as clean and comfortable, but issues noted include a failing air conditioner in one room, weak water pressure/cool shower, and at least one comment that a mattress needs replacement.
Amenities
8.8
Amenities are positively mentioned: pool, large kid-friendly pool, hot tubs, beach rinse area, umbrella rentals and convenient boardwalk access; generally viewed as good value additions.
Value for Money
8.7
Several guests noted good prices for food/drinks and willingness to return; overall value impression is positive.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast receives mixed feedback — many praise the breakfast and Colombian coffee and specific items (tacos, omelettes), but there are notable negatives (one guest reported getting diarrhea from breakfast; one bad enchilada plate).
Overall Experience
9
Overall sentiment is very positive with many 'great' or 'loved it' comments and strong recommendations, though isolated service/food issues tempered some stays.

Pros:

Rooms were clean, comfortable beds, and a short walk to the beach (5 min or less) it was a bit busy due to a 5k being held right on the beach that started at night but it didnt interrupt our beach time. Umbrella rental is about 40 but they're only from 10 am to 6 pm per city rule (you can bring your own with no time limits) they have a rinse off area that comes in handy before entering the hotel back from the beach. Water pressure wasnt too strong in the shower, hot water could have been a bit warmer. Breakfast was great, lots of options and they give you card with suggested times to avoid crowds.

Roger’s vacation stay
Pros:

The young lady Prisella at the front desk went above to accommodate our request. We had booked a basic room with no scenery she was able to change us out; of course we paid the difference it was well worth it. The room was perfect for us. The restaurant I will say on day one we went there for dinner. I ordered the enchilada plate which was horrible probably the worse enchilada plate I have ever tasted. I let the waiter know. The following morning we went for the free breakfast it was ok; however the following morning we ordered the omelettes they were great.

Pros:

My wife and I got diarrhea from morning breakfast.

We initially registered for one night. When we arrived we immediately registered for a second night. We told front we registered for another night.

The next day we got locked out of our room. Our room was on the 4th floor some distance from the front desk.

When i talked to front desk, they acknowledged we had reservation for 2nd day. They said the system wanted us to reregister. Why not call us to reregister!
