Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed comments: several guests praised cleanliness and 'lo limpio', but one review described the room as 'very uncomfortable filthy and moldy' and another noted a sagging bed. Overall slightly below average due to the severe isolated cleanliness complaint.
Service
8.3
Service is frequently praised: multiple guests highlight attentive, friendly and helpful staff (check-in staff singled out, 'súper queridos'), though a few notes about slow food service. Overall service is a strong positive.
Location
8.4
Location and setting are repeatedly praised: tranquil, away from vendors, nice beach area and landscape. Guests value the peaceful environment and scenery.
Room Quality
7
Rooms described as comfortable by many, but some issues reported (a bed with a hole, one report of mold/filth, and comments about small size). Overall average to slightly above average comfort with occasional problems.
Amenities
7.4
Pools, beach access and general facilities are highlighted as excellent and relaxing; some minor negatives like towel schedule, no water dispensers, and crowd/noise from day-trippers at times.
Value for Money
5.8
Several guests criticized cost: expensive bottled water policy ($10.000), high food prices and perceptions of high tariffs relative to included services — lowers perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8
Food receives frequent praise ('delicious', 'very good quality'), though there are consistent notes about slow service, breakfast being limited or delayed, and buffet being scarce at times.
Overall Experience
6.7
Generally positive experiences and many recommendations ('recomendado', 'espectacular'), with excellent atmosphere and staff. However, significant negatives (cleanliness incident, noise from day-trippers, value complaints) temper the overall score.

Se ve mejor en fotos.
Pros:

La cabaña tenía todas las comodidades. Las piscinas estaban muy lindas.

Cons:

La relación calidad- precio era muy alta. Las comidas y bebidas eran costosas. Los vendedores de las playas eran muy intensos y se molestaban si uno les decía algo. Uno no podía nadar tranquilo porque a cada rato pasaban las motos acuáticas y lanchas en la zona de de baño.
