Pros:

The breakfast was not that good. Some staff trying to sell you membership was too stubborn on the sell, even after I said no thanks. They were suggesting not to purchase from orbitz nor expedia.

El desayuno no estuvo tan bueno. Unos miembros del staff vendiendo membresías fueron demasiado insistentes y sugerían no comprar de expedia o de orbitz.

Pros:

Lamentablemente muy descuidado. Antes iba muy seguido y no estaba asi. Los banos compartidos estaban sucios, la piscina se esta despintando y sucia. Los cuartos estan con humedad. Lastima porque la naturaleza ahi es muy linda pero lo mas importante esta descuidado.

Pros:

Nos hospedamos una noche, la seguridad de las puertas es pésima, en nuestro hospedaje estando dentro de la habitación a las 1:30 de la mañana mientras dormíamos un funcionario del hotel nos abrió la puerta mientras alumbraba con un foco, por supuesto estábamos durmiendo y nos asustó, solo nos dijo que pensó que la habitación estaba vacía. Al amanecer fuimos a hacer el reclamo y el señor solo dijo que por “error” sucedió, que tenían desorden con las reservas, la gerente indicó que nos llamaría y nunca lo hizo. Entonces NUNCA más nos vamos a hospedar ahí y NO recomendamos ese lugar para hospedarse. Es PÉSIMO. Adicional, las habitaciones están deterioradas y en pésimo estado. El peor hotel al que hemos ido, eso es.

Poor service
Pros:

The room was given to us 2 hours after the check in time and our children had to wait at the lobby for the room keys. I chose this hotel for the pool so my siblings could enjoy the place and we did lost half a day. When I asked for compensation, they offered a late check out until 1:30 pm which I usually get anyway for my membership status. Anyway, NOT HAPPY

Pros:

Es bonito y seguro. Sin embargo la opción de comida es demasiado limitada y el desayuno está bien feo. También deberían separar el área pet friendly para no escuchar ladridos .
