I would definitely recommend this hotel! It’s right in the beach and has a pool. The AC was cold and the showers were wa
Pros:

It was right on the beach that was amazing for sunrise view. Staff was friendly!

Cons:

There were ants in our room but we were in the jungle so there are probably ants in every room there🤷‍♀️

Hôtel en bord de plage avec piscine et personnel très sympathique
Pros:

Hôtel en bord de plage face à la mer avec personnel super sympathique, bon petit déjeuner, piscine (c'est un gros plus car la mer étant dangereuse, on ne pouvait pas s'y baigner). On a pu réserver 2 excursions via Priscillia de l'hôtel ( sortie nocturne sur la plage pour voir les tortues pondre et 'safari' tour en bateau dans les canaux du parc national). Restauration possible sur place.

Cons:

Pas grand chose.

Pros:

Personnel très accueillant, chambre confortable avec la clim, ce qui est appréciable. Eau, thé et café à disposition mais dommage que cela ne soit pas installé avant 7h30 car certaines excursions commencent à 5h30 ;)

Cons:

Une promesse un peu mensongère : La réduction de 5$ si on paie les excursions réservées par internet en cash alors que le prix de base est 5$ plus cher que les excursions proposées sur place.....

Pros:

Estaba muy limpio y pasaban todos los días a limpiar, había aire acondicionado, el personal muy majo, la piscina un punto extra, el destino muy rico y tenías 3 tipos para elegir.
Personal del hotel nos espero en el puerto antes y después de la barca, incluso nos acompañaron al hotel.
Nada más salir está la playa.

Cons:

Las habitaciones son un poco anticuadas, pero está todo tan limpio que lo compensa.
Un poco apartado del centro, a 10 min caminando, el primer día con maletas un poco incomodo ya que la ultima parte del camino es arena. Son las dos únicas pegas que le puedo poner.

Super séjour, personnel agréable, calme, bon emplacement et propre. Je recommande
Pros:

Super accueil, personnel très sympathique, on se sent comme à la maison. Bon petit déjeuner, emplacement idéal : face à la mer (je déconseille de s'y baigner), donc piscine très utile (nous n'avons pas eu le temps d'en profiter), au calme mais proche à pied du centre ville. Les aras survolent l'hôtel et se cachent dans les arbres voisins.
Chambre simple, propre et spacieuse, avec clim.
Je recommande vivement cet hôtel !
