Hermoso, pero puede mejorar
Pros:

Las instalaciones de las áreas comunes

Cons:

El dormitorio es muy básico en relación al precio, habitación matrimonial con cama 2 plazas, colchón deformado por el uso, respeto al baño es semi cerrado, las paredes no van hasta el techo, la ducha con cortina de baño de plástico atada con varillas al techo, la regadera tapada por el sarro del agua, tacho de basura sin tapa (pedí que lo cambiaran), son cosas que se pueden mejorar

Descanso!
Pros:

Tranquilidad y la atención

Cons:

Que hubiera un evento en el hotel y se nos limitó el acceso a la zona del bar. No había mucha gente en el hotel para haber permitido por lo menos pedir una copa y tomarla en otra zona.
Además el día de la reserva que fueron unos días antes no nos lo comunicaron.

Nice pool and beach, but far from nightlife and tours in Mancora
Pros:

The pool was small, but there's a nice view of the ocean. The Beach is private, but there's not a lifeguard there, and no seats out on the shore. Restaurant and bar was very nice. Comfortable hotel though. Beautiful sunsets.

Cons:

Altogether the bartenders and waiters were very nice, but the front desk people were more serious. This is a great place to stay with family, but if you are a young couple who wants to do tours, it's like a 35 minute moto-taxi ride from the city, and the roads are bumpy, so it's not an ideal location.
