Hotel cómodo y bien ubicado
Pros:

Cuartos muy cómodos y limpios

Cons:

El momento del check in tuvimos problemas con la tarifa porque dijeron que Booking no puso los impuestos correctos y quisieron cobrar más de lo que decía la aplicación. Luego aceptaron la tarifa pactada en Booking

Bureaucracy and internal procedures ruin what could be a great experience.
Pros:

It’s clean and comfortable from the restaurant we had an outstanding ocean view where we were able to see the whales. The food was great

Cons:

They don’t respect Booking prices. They have too many bureaucratic procedures and no way to reason with them.
