Very nice place for overnight stay
Pros:

Great location, amazing view and personnel, parking, food.
Rooms are well sound isolated and there are two curtains to provide some privacy from neighbor rooms.

Cons:

Room is really small and there were no even basics, like bottle of water, shampoo, shower gel, etc.
Any stay longer than overnight would be uncomfortable in such a small room.

Pros:

The view from everywhere is absolutely stunning. The sound of the ocean was so relaxing to go to sleep to and the pool was always the perfect temperature! The poolside service was good and the cabanas were always free when we wanted them. The food and beverage menu had a great selection of things to choose from. We ordered dinner one night from the restaurant and I had the surf and turf which was amazing and my husband had the burger which he said was alright. The portion size was big for what we paid. Check in was easy and the staff are very friendly. They didn't speak much English and we don't speak much Spanish so make sure you have your translator ready if you're not fluent like us. But they were always very helpful and present.

Cons:

The hotel is located off the main road and to get to it, you have to drive down a very bumpy dirt path.

There are no dedicated pool or beach towels, so you take your room one, but they will exchange it.

We really didn't like how the bedroom curtains do not provide ample privacy... they have 2 sheer curtains and 2 drapes, but the drapes don't cover the entire width of the sliding door so it was a hassle trying to make sure we felt comfortable.

The bathroom is extremely small and there is no hot water at any time, but we made do.
