Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed comments: several guests praised cleanliness and 'lo limpio', but one review described the room as 'very uncomfortable filthy and moldy' and another noted a sagging bed. Overall slightly below average due to the severe isolated cleanliness complaint.
Service
8.3
Service is frequently praised: multiple guests highlight attentive, friendly and helpful staff (check-in staff singled out, 'súper queridos'), though a few notes about slow food service. Overall service is a strong positive.
Location
8.4
Location and setting are repeatedly praised: tranquil, away from vendors, nice beach area and landscape. Guests value the peaceful environment and scenery.
Room Quality
7
Rooms described as comfortable by many, but some issues reported (a bed with a hole, one report of mold/filth, and comments about small size). Overall average to slightly above average comfort with occasional problems.
Amenities
7.4
Pools, beach access and general facilities are highlighted as excellent and relaxing; some minor negatives like towel schedule, no water dispensers, and crowd/noise from day-trippers at times.
Value for Money
5.8
Several guests criticized cost: expensive bottled water policy ($10.000), high food prices and perceptions of high tariffs relative to included services — lowers perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8
Food receives frequent praise ('delicious', 'very good quality'), though there are consistent notes about slow service, breakfast being limited or delayed, and buffet being scarce at times.
Overall Experience
6.7
Generally positive experiences and many recommendations ('recomendado', 'espectacular'), with excellent atmosphere and staff. However, significant negatives (cleanliness incident, noise from day-trippers, value complaints) temper the overall score.

Excelente!
Pros:

La habitación era amplia, la cama era muy cómoda y grande. En el baño había crema hidrante, shampoo, acondicionador para el pelo. La atención del personal fue muy buena. Todo limpio.

Cons:

El desayuno fue un poco demorado, aun siendo tipo bufet, no tenían huevos, café o chocolate listo.

No vale la pena pasar la noche
Pros:

La comida de la carta es muy buena. El personal muy amable. Las piscinas son bonitas aunque una de ellas está a tope de la gente del pasadía y cuando se van que la podemos disfrutar los huéspedes, entonces la cierran.

Cons:

Nos dieron una habitación horrible, pequeña y ubicada en un sitio muy feo, al lado de la tienda. Es un resort encarado a la gente que viene a pasar el día. Cuando se van, cierran una de las piscinas, se acaba la música de la playa y cierran todos los bares menos uno, queda un lugar aburrido. Lo peor es comer rodeados de perros, gatos y moscas. No volvería
