Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed reports: several guests praised the hotel as 'muy limpio', but a serious negative report of cockroaches in the bathroom on two consecutive days warrants a lower cleanliness score.
Service
9.2
Consistently positive comments about staff: 'personal muy amable', 'atención del personal', 'recepcionistas' and repeat guests praising attentive service. Only occasional notes about staff not enforcing pool rules.
Location
9.4
Very strong consensus on location: 'excelente ubicación', on the malecon, close to Playa Los Muertos, shops and a pharmacy — repeatedly highlighted as a major positive.
Room Quality
8
Generally good: many mention ocean-view rooms and a comfortable stay; some issues noted (promised terrace missing for one booking, early check-in provided) suggesting generally solid but not flawless room quality.
Amenities
7.8
Pool and beach access are frequent positives, but there are repeated negatives: pool policies/management issues, limited parking, unstable Wi‑Fi and a rocky beach area that reduce the amenities score.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed perceptions: some guests feel quality matches price, but multiple comments cite the restaurant/food as 'VERY overpriced' and parking limitations, lowering perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast buffet and Mexican options (chilaquiles) are praised by several guests ('desayuno buffet riquísimo'), but others report food being overpriced or not good; overall positive but with notable criticisms.
Overall Experience
9.7
Overall sentiment is strongly positive: many guests say they'd return or recommend the hotel, praising location, staff and pool — despite isolated issues (cleanliness incident, parking, pool rules).
