Mi estancia
Pros:

Una de las cosas que más disfruto mi familia y yo, fueron los desayunos incluidos, ahorra mucho tiempo y están deliciosos y bien servidos

Cons:

No le dan mantenimiento a las regaderas, estaba muy vieja y salía muy poca agua, la reportamos y acordaron cambiarla, pero no lo hicieron

A perfect place to house my family in comfort. Close to all amenities and attractions.
Pros:

Location is excellent! close to Playa La Ropa AND Playa Madera..simple, basic and everything you need. I booked it for my kids and grandchildren and it was perfect. Oh, and the Partenon was walking distance, too! an amazing venue for entertainment!

Cons:

I think there could have been a couple more towels for a family of 4, there were only 2 towels. But I understand that it was REALLY high season so they were very busy!!

Pros:

The hotel grounds and the pool area are indeed very nice, but my room was terrible. No blow dryer, no shampoo or shower gel, only a bar of soap. Walls cracked, very basic furniture - more of a cell than a room. Hot water took 10 minutes (!) to arrive every day - what a waste of water! But the worst was the bed - it was the most uncomfortable, hard, bed I have ever had the misfortune to sleep on. My. right shoulder completely seized up after just 1 night, so I had to actually had to cut my trip short and come home early as I did not want to be in pain for the whole week.
NOT recommended!!

Pros:

Had a bad experience in the restaurant with the waiter. Did not make us feel welcome at all and we heard him talking to the bartender saying we were Americans. Didnt let us sit where we wanted and it WAS NOT busy at all. Also didnt have tonic water for our drinks which was on the menu. Other than that experirnce, it was excellent.
