Pros:

The hotel is very good; my dissatisfaction is with Booking.com. They confirmed my reservation at the Holiday Inn, but when I arrived, there was no booking. This happened in New York in June, and I’ve decided not to do business with them anymore.

Pros:

The resort is very nice and clean! Has a boutique feel. I like that there is a food shopping center within walking distance among other retail locations. Very convenient.

La habitación solicitada y asignada fue para una persona con movilidad reducida, lo cual estuvo bien,pero falta un tocador o repisa en el baño para poder ubicar los elementos de aseo personal

Fallas no atribuidas a el hotel, pero desagradables
Pros:

La playa

Cons:

A ver : No hubo electricidad el dia que llegamos hasta el dia siguiente a las1.00pm. Despues nuevamente al dia siguiente tampoco hubo electricidad , es decir dos dias.
Luego no habia señal en la TV y la gente de COMCAST estuvo los dos dias tratando de arreglar el tema sin exito.
Como comprenderan .....todo un desastre por los acontecimientos.
La actitud de la gestion considero que fue nefasta, ya que si sucedio lo indicado debio dar auque sea un gesto si no una
exoneracion en el servicio de uso de la playa en la arena ( resort) que no se usa por solo poner tu toalla en la arena???
El sitio me gusta aunque muy basico .
