Muy recomendable
Pros:

La ubicacion, la relación precio beneficio, las instalaciones, la atencion

Cons:

Me.he quedado fácil 5 años seguido en ese hotel y la vdd muy agusto por eso vuelvo, pero cada q regreso cambian algo pero no para bien, en 2025 cobraban un costo adicional si.manchabas las sábanas hasta de.maquillaje, lo.menciononporq antes no lo hacían, no me.molesta pero si es incomodo estar al pendiente de no manchar. El desayuno deberia tener.un.poco mas de tiempo de tolerancia al menos una hora mas. Teníamos que pedir el control remoto y q nos.pusieran el.servicio de tv en recepción si no lo pides no está activo default

NO TIENE COCINA.
Pros:

El tamaño de la habitación estaba bien, el complejo es tranquilo sin ruidos y bien ubicado (aunque la playa cercana no es la más bonita y huele mal). El lugar de desayuno es lo mejor del hospedaje.

Cons:

NO TIENE COCINA!!! Dice que tiene cocina y no está habilitada. La habitación no cuenta ni si quiera con algún plato o cubiertos, pedimos prestados tenedor y cuchillo y nos apuraron para que los devolvamos!! Solo cuenta con una cafetera horrible y un microondas, vasos y tazas. En esos términos nuestra estancia fue decepcionante ya que reservamos ese hospedaje por su valor UNICAMENTE PORQUE DECÍA POSEER COCINA. Malísimo eso. A eso se le suma que el INTERNET NO FUNCIONA.

I do not recommend this hotel at all. It is not worth the money, the stress, or a ruined vacation.
Pros:

The only positive thing was a front desk employee who genuinely tried to help ( Jennifer). That’s it.

Cons:

The hotel is clearly misleading.
What is shown in the booking photos does not match reality at all.

We were placed in a room that looked nothing like the one we booked. On the day of arrival, we immediately asked for the room shown in the photos. The pictures showed a large bed in the living room, but there was no bed there at all. We were told that this room was under maintenance. At the same time, the hotel had a higher-category room available, but they refused to move us there unless we paid extra. They also refused to issue a refund.

The condition of the room was terrible.
Everything is old and worn out, and the bed linen had stains. There is no shower door, so it is impossible to shower properly — water spills everywhere, flooding the bathroom and the hallway. The floor becomes slippery and unsafe, and you have to mop the water just to reach the toilet.

The “kitchen” exists in name only.
There is a stove, but no usable kitchenware — only two glasses and two cups. Calling this a “room with a kitchen” makes no sense.

The furniture is unsafe.
There are protruding nails in the bedside tables, which can easily damage your belongings or cause injury. This is a safety issue, not a comfort issue.

Breakfast is another story.
It is served only until 9:00 a.m. and includes just eggs and pancakes. The children were given menus with pictures, but when they tried to order from them, they were told that everything shown was available for an extra charge.

Muy descuidado el hotel
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

El hotel en general está muy descuidado, no todos los días, hacen el aseo de la habitación, las toallas te las pueden cambiar cada 3er día, el desayuno incluido es muy limitado si quieres agregar algo mas tiene costo extra, una de las personas que estaba en la recepción tenía una actitud como de flojera el trato con la gente.

Pros:

El personal amable las señoras de la limpieza, las 2 chica de recepción, una supongo que era la admistradora muy amable & la otra chica gordita✨, el desayuno rico en mi caso ordene unos chilaquiles, los cuartos cómodos.

Cons:

Que no halla nadie en recepcion despues de las 12am Había otra chica en especial que al menos yo lo percibí asi como un regaño, me toco que se fue la luz & llegue como a las 12am al hotel, tarde un rato afuera en lo que habrian ya que era eléctrica, mi madre busco al personal en un cuartito que tenían atrás de recepción no logro encontrarlas, al rato salen las chicas supongo que tenían algunos amigos hospedados ahi porque si no fuesen porque le mandaron mensaje a algunas de las chicas que les abrieran me quedaría afuera, cuando entre me preguntaron que si cuanto tiempo tenia afuera, que ahi hay una hora que se cierra & no abren despues de cierta hora esto me lo comento una chica delgada con lentes cabello largo, cuando no las encontrábamos en recepción percibíamos su mala manera de atender se le decía buenas noches & no contestaba, Fue lo único que no me gusto.....de ahi fuera las 2 chicas que yo conocí de recepción muy amables la que supongo es la administradora & la gordita✨

Pros:

Lindas las instalaciones,, pero le faltaba limpieza

Cons:

Llegamos 2 horas antes y no nos entregaron la habitación, siendo que estaba lista, nos hicieron esperar. Tenía una anafe electrica, pero siendo que en descripción decía que tenía utensilios de cocina, no contaba con nada, pedimos y no tuvimos respuesta. El patio no estaba limpio.

Pros:

Property was good. It had a pool. A little far away from the main attractions but overall an amazing room for the budget. One ac unit for a room this large can be insufficant. The rooms are large almost like an apartment. Overall an amazing experience.
