Bad service
Pros:

Anything

Cons:

Hice una reservación y nunca me confirmaron antes con anticipación, hasta que yo escribí, lo cual fue tarde porque me negaron la entrada a Aruba, entonces no tienen buena comunicación con los que reservan desde la aplicación, ni siquiera escribiendo por Whatsapp...ellos debitaron el pago de mi tarjeta de crédito, pero nunca pude llegar y disfrutar mis vacaciones. Así que no recomiendo ni en lo más mínimo este hotel.

I made a reservation, but they never confirmed it in advance until I wrote to them. That was too late because they denied me entry to Aruba. So, they don't have good communication with those who book through the app, not even writing via WhatsApp. They debited my credit card, but I was never able to arrive and enjoy my vacation. So, I don't recommend this hotel in the slightest.

No recomiendo
Pros:

solo la piscina

Cons:

Un engaño cuando llegamos nos mostró una habitación con camarote con todo compartido. Pero ahí no más con pago de 60 dólares recién nos puso uno con baño propio. El trato de una señora muy humillante.
