Next to a loud main road & no hot water
Pros:

Close to the beach

Cons:

Next to the main road with transport trucks passing through all night. No hot water on my second night. Broken patio door and closed with a piece of metal tubing. Broken shower door so water sprayed everywhere. $200 a night.

I’d go back !!
Pros:

Very clean. Room was spacious. On the beach. Pool was clean. Nearby several restaurants.

Cons:

It is right on the highway. Truck drivers use their compression brakes right near the hotel. It was quiet between 1:30 am and 4:30 am though

Mooie locatie, fijn verblijf
Pros:

Mooie locatie aan Playa Hermosa! Vlakbij het hotel zaten heel veel ara's in de bomen, die komen ook overvliegen, geweldig om te zien. Idyllisch plekje, niet te toeristisch. De zee heeft een sterke stroming maar is wel prachtig. Mooie grote kamers, lekker zwembadje. Er is geen restaurant aanwezig maar we kregen goede tips voor een leuk restaurantje direct naast de deur, met heerlijk ontbijt. Wij verbleven hier als stop vanuit het zuiden, onderweg terug naar de luchthaven, daarvoor een uitstekende plek! Medewerkers waren erg vriendelijk, meedenkend en flexibel.
