Normal .
Pros:

La vista del hotel es muy bonita y la piscina también me gustó. Sin embargo, esos aspectos positivos no compensan las situaciones que viví con la falta de respeto a mi privacidad y los cobros inconsistentes en el bar.

Cons:

No me gustó que, a pesar de haber dejado el aviso de “No molestar” en la puerta, al regresar encontré que habían ingresado a mi habitación. Considero que esto es una falta de respeto hacia la privacidad y genera una sensación de inseguridad, ya que ese aviso debería ser respetado en todo momento.Tampoco me gustó la actitud de la persona encargada del bar. En varias ocasiones me cobraba un dólar adicional argumentando que correspondía a impuestos por la comida. Sin embargo, al conversar con otros huéspedes del hotel, todos coincidían en que únicamente les cobraban el valor que aparecía en la carta. Incluso, cuando otra persona atendía, el cobro era exactamente el precio publicado, sin ningún dólar adicional.Esta situación me hizo sentir que el cobro no era transparente y considero que fue una falta de respeto hacia el huésped. Espero que revisen lo sucedido para evitar que vuelva a ocurrir con otras personas.

Beautiful view with beach access. Great price.

It was just something to stay at to get by
Pros:

I like the staff friendliness

Cons:

I didn’t like how the rooms weren’t really clean. The water was dirty and it cut off at a point of time. I didn’t like how breakfast came with the room, but they chose your breakfast. You could not. I did not like the food. It was a 4/10 I feel like they need to fix up the area more because it’s not really presentable. The ocean view was great. The bathroom was not clean. The bathroom should be remodeled

Pros:

Locacion y vista es buena, habitaciones limpias, parqueo disponible.

Cons:

Personal no es amable, no tiene vocacion de atencion, no saludan, tienen cara de mala gana. Se esta consumiendo y no quieren atender. Jardin dentro de una ducha no me parece muy buena idea.
