Pros:

Buenas no hay comunicación con el hotel. Cuando llegamos nos dimos cuenta que no habia wifi (creo q algo basico) luego en ningún momento limpiaron la habitación ademas los paños eran de mala calidad el servicio sanitario no estaba en buenas condicione y creo que lo peor fue con respecto la piscina. Ayer la cerraron a las 6pm y la otra q estaba abierta esta sucia hoy en la mañana ingrese a la piscina q estaba cerrada y tambien se veia el mal mantenimiento ademas me lastime el pie un tornillo o sea ni limpian bien la piscina

Pros:

The property is old and out dates They appear to be renovating it but there is a quit a way to do Our room was definitely in need of a renovation it was a junior suite that was poorly laid out Room was sparsely decorated Rusty fridge Cheap MIs-matched dishes and utensils that I would never eat of off No covers over the Box spring We were only provided a small soap No shampoo and conditioner.

Hotel staff was not the friendliest We’d never stay here again nor recommend it

poor customer service
Pros:

having to search for some to get the room key from when checking in and again searching for some to give the key too on check out was disappointing.

Pessima Estadia - Não Recomendo.
Pros:

Ao chegar no hotel tivemos que esperar meia hora para que o funcionário da recepção aparecesse e para que descobríssemos quem era.Os outros dois dias consecutivos foram iguais.

Feito o check in , fomos ao quarto que por sua vez estava bem sujinho, o banheiro então tinha cabelo de clientes anteriores, o chão estava bem sujo; os azulejos estavam sujos, realmente em condições ruins. As toalhas de banho acredito que foram compradas para nós, pois vieram 100% novas, engomadas e impermeaveis. As toalhas de rosto eram mais antigas, enxugavam mas em contrapartida estavam sujas.

A piscina principal estava um caos já que esta soltando os ladrilhos e azulejos, já a piscina secundaria, não estava com a limpeza em dia e não havia manutenção diária na mesma.

Meus filhos ao andar pelo hotel tinham que estar calçados pois em todo e qualquer parte do hotel havia parafusos e pregos soltos aos montes no chão. Perigoso para crianças, cuidado.

Não havia serviço de café da manhã e na realidade nenhuma das refeições, o que depois acabei achando ótimo vide o padrão reportado acima, no entanto poderiam dispor de um frigobar no quarto, pelo menos para ter agua potavel para tomar.

As cadeiras que estavam no terraço para estender roupa estavam completamente manchadas e cheias de fungo, ou seja, improprias para secar as roupas.

Bom, realmente não aconselho a estadia neste hotel, foi um pouco mais em conta mas ficou devendo. Realmente preferia ter pago um pouco mais e ter sido bem recebido.

Pros:

Excelente ubicación y preciosas vista pero las instalaciones necesitan mantenimiento. Requiere pintura, la piscina no se ve agradable pues también ambas piscinas requieren mantenimiento. La limpieza podría mejorar. El lugar tiene potencial pero requiere inversión y podría ser uno de los mejores sitios en la zona si se hacen mejoras.

Pros:

The place is not as advertised, it needs a complete renovation. Rooms were super old. We were not expecting a five star as it was just a last minute secession due to our next accommodations would not be ready until the next day. I still feel it was overpriced for what we had.

Pros:

this was a Bait and switch situation on Expedia . The pictures were from long ago . half the hotel was ripped apart and under renovations . roof was half ripped off . super old bedding and towels . the pool was in very bad condition . hotel was advertised as all inclusive and there was no sign of that even being possible . the windows did not lock in the roof so anybody could just slide them open and come into the room , the sofa bed was old broken down and covered in stains . No wi Fi . the hot tube looked like a soiled toilet . tennis courts were destroyed and looked like not used in 15 years .We felt we got totally Scammed for sure . this should have been a $50 dollar room at best , not $200 . Complete miss representation . would not recommend to any one .
