Experiencia agridulce, el hotel excelente, el señor Oscar, tiene que educarse en manejo de crisis
Pros:

El hotel esta excelente, es nuevo y todo se ve perfecto y en buen estado.

Cons:

Hubo una situacion, nosotros viajamos con nuestra mascota (un perro chihuahua mariposa), al momento de hacer la reserva marque la casilla que decia que viajaba con mascota y el hotel me aparecio en la lista, asi que pude reservar, lei toda la informacion del hotel y en ningun lugar prohibia el llevar mascota, nostante a esto me le escribi en la casilla de peticiones que viajaba con una mascota pequeña y nunca nos respondieron la peticion para decirnos que no lo aceptaban -Resulta que al segundo dia de estancia nos mandan a buscar de la recepecion y el encargado, el señor Oscar nos informa de manera brusca que el hotel no acepta mascotas y que debemos irnos del hotel, no voy a contar aca todo lo que le dije pero han de imaginar como reaccionamos a eso, puesto que nunca me informo de devolvernos nuestro dinero y ninguna otra opcion, solo queria que nos fueramos y ya, asi de descarado, a lo cual por supuesto nos negamos, informandole que su pagina de Booking no decia que no aceptaban mascotas, luedo de un rato de discusion le dije que hablara con su supervisor y este nos dio una salida, pagar 50 dolares para una limpieza profunda de la habitacion cuando nos marchemos y que no pasearamos el perro por las zonas comunes, a lo que accedimos porque sonaba razonable. El asunto fue que desde el dia que llegamos el perro le ladraba a todo mundo y todo el personal sabia que habimos llegado con un perro, nadie se nor acerco para decirnos que no aceptaban mascotas, y peor aun, al dia siguiente del evento vimos otra pareja tambien con un perro desayunando en el restaurante jajajaja y no solo eso, tienen un gato que se pasea por todas las mesas pidiendo comida y nadie lo molesta.

Sehr schöne Anlage und moderne saubere Zimmer. Leider nicht direkt am Strand.
Pros:

Die gesamte Anlage war sehr gepflegt. Die Auswahl und das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut.
Das Zimmer war sehr schön und das Badezimmer sehr geräumig.

Cons:

Auf dem Nachbargrundstück hatte es zwei Häne die bereits um 5:00 Uhr zu krähen begannen, ausschlafen war nicht möglich. Die Anlage war durch eine Strasse vom Strand getrennt und es hatte relativ viel Verkehr.

The property has only been open two months. Hopefully, with time, the staff will be better trained.
Cons:

We changed rooms because the two junior suites we had were a long way from the pool area and just faced bushes. So no view at all. They then tried to charge an extra $7,000 for the change (even though the hotel was virtually empty) and it took almost two hours in Reception to sort it out.
There was music playing quite loud in the garden (12 hours per day) and different music next door by the pool, so it was impossible to sit out on the balcony. We had to ask them to turn one of them off every day. It was mindless 'muzak' (elevator music) as well!
The breakfast was very poor, the coffee cold and they charged extra for even the smallest things. Pool-side drinks service was almost non-existent.
