Pros:

mostly evrything - weve stayed many times and love this hotel and its location
The staff were amazing

Cons:

The room , overlooking the pool was very dark - not to our liking
The hotel did not serve dinner on Tuesday and wednseday and the bar closed at 8.30pm - this is definitely not the standard of service you would expect from a 4 star holiday

Good but would change a few things
Pros:

Decor was fantastic
Happy hour drinks prices excellent!
Aircon
Two showers
Big spacious room and the views were amazing of the sunset and sunrise
Privacy on the balcony
Staff were friendly

Cons:

Breakfast time was very late at 8.30
Too much light from the outside that shon in the room
Breakfast hot food was always cold at 8.30!
Small selection of breakfast variety
The bed was the worst thing about our stay it was like sleeping on a plank of wood!!!! We had the sunset sea view room 401 - la fonda please change!!
The deck chair on our balcony was purely wood and had no soft lounger on it so it was unusable which was a shame as it had alot of privacy
