Excellent beach-front location and easy taxi access to the center; one note about being a bit far from some activities by ship.

Habitación muy cómoda con excelente vista al mar
Pros:

El desayuno estuvo bien, la piscina tiene un ambiente muy agradable, y el bar del jacuzzi es muy agradable. La habitación nuestra que era una suite de 2 cuartos y con vista al mar estaba espectacular

Cons:

La comida del hotel no es muy buena para el costo de la misma y te dan una bebida no alcoholica de bienvenida, desafortunadamente la bebida solo es Fruit Punch, no se puede solicitar nada diferente, ni siquiera una botella de agua

Pros:

Muy buena ubicación. Buen precio. Las personas muy amables.

Cons:

No me gustó el restaurante Palenque, tenía un olor fuerte a humedad, los asientos estaban mojados, la comida del buffet no me pareció muy buena. Poca selección y muy cara para lo que había.
El gimnasio es terrible, demasiado pequeño, los equipos viejos y en mal estado, el aire acondicionado no funciona bien, un olor muy desagradable.
En el spa también hay un olor desagradable a humedad. Por esto no me realicé ningún masaje.
En el restaurante a la carta en el primer piso muy demorado el servicio de la cocina. La comida regular.
