Enjoyable stay but the maintenance issues take away from the experience
Pros:

The staff was nice and welcoming. We had a partial ocean view from our room, which was lovely. The food was very good and the grounds were clean, well maintained and fresh. The pool was also very nice and offered a beautiful view of the ocean .

Cons:

The hotel is in need of significant maintenance and upkeep. The door to our room had a large gap underneath, so we had to place towels along the bottom to keep lizards and insects from getting inside. The property also needs fresh paint, and some of the wood appeared to be rotting and in need of replacement.

The pool area also needs attention. Several of the umbrellas had visible rust, and parts of the fence surrounding the pool were broken.

When we first arrived, there was also a very unpleasant smell in the room, which may have been related to the sargassum in the water. Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential, but it would greatly benefit from some much-needed maintenance and renovations.

En algún momento fue espectacular
Pros:

Vistas, jardín bien cuidado y piscina infinity

Cons:

Habitaciones y extrrior necesitan mantenimiento urgente por todos lados, no llegaba el WiFi a la habitación, playa alejada, zona jacuzzi descuidada, el hotel esta sobre un acantilado, no tiene acceso directo a la playa y debajo las olas acumulan enormes cantidades de sargazo que huele mal

Nettes Hotel in herrlicher Lage, leider vielleicht zur falschen Jahreszeit sehr "stinkig"
Pros:

Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Ausstattung und Einrichtung sind aber okay. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Die Gartenanlage ist wunderschön. Leider werden am unterhalb liegenden Strand, den man auch nicht vom Hotel aus betreten kann, Algen angeschwemmt, die stark riechen.

Cons:

Der Fäkaliengeruch der Algen im Meer
