Horrible, nada que ver con las fotos
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Está horrible, no tiene playa, está sucio, nada que ver con las fotos que tienen a lo que realmente es. Es una BURLA que nos hagan pagar por las fotos y ver la realidad.

Pros:

La alberca es amplia y el personal es muy amable y cordial.

Cons:

No le dan mantenimiento a las instalaciones en habitaciones, la bañera y lavabo estaban dañados y costaba un poco darle uso. El closet estaba muy débil, la caja fuerte estaba rota y una de las lámparas no tenía foco. Ni hablar del mosquitero roto.
En alimentos estaba bien, aunque las bebidas estaban demasiado rebajadas en agua.

Cons:

La forma en que hacen pasar vergüenza a los que nos hospedamos ahí, al momento de querer vendernos sus estancias, pero sin saberlo hacer , al modo de mentir, no cumplir con lo que dices y sobre todo hacernos perder el tiempo y pasar pena y haciéndonos sentir hasta mal por como es que hacen las cosas la verdad eso fue muy grosero de su parte.. y algo bochornoso para uno como huésped.... No pueden obligar ni mucho menos tratar de esa forma a un cliente , solo por qué no se le compraría su membrecía... Quieren ser como las cadenas grandes hoteleras pero con ese tipo de acciones solo cabaran su tumba

Pros:

El ambiente, la comida es deliciosa, el personal muy amable.

Cons:

No me llevaron shampoo, no jabón a mi habitación. Una de las sillas del restaurante tenía un clavo salido. Y cuando me indicaron que sería mi mesa, lo moví y me cortó el clavo, me salió sangre (nada grave) pero me hubieras gustado que me ofrecerán algo para limpiar la herida, y no lo hicieron.

Beautiful authentic Mexican Resort!
Pros:

Everyone is extremely nice. I was upgraded to a beautiful room with amazing a/c and view. There is also a lovely pool and great service as well as a convince store a few minutes away! and the beach is also a few minutes away. This place has a true Mexican style, not like a high rise hotel. It’s authentic and feels very safe. I would definitely come back!
