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.

Lugar espectacular
Pros:

El alojamiento muy lindo, las instalaciones, menú muy variado, desayuno
Bueno, personal del hotel muy atento a colaborarle a uno y atenderlo de la mejor forma. Las habitaciones cómodas necesitan algunos cuidados pero bastante bien. Piscina y área de la playa muy bien y la atención super bien.

Cons:

El hotel brinda el servicio de transporte en lancha desde boca grande a tierra bomba y me parece súper bien, la sugerencia que deberían mejorar es la atención de los muchachos de las lanchas, no nos colaboraron para subirnos a las lanchas, llevábamos maletas y tampoco nos ayudaron ni para subirlas ni para bajarlas.

Perfecto para un pasadía
Pros:

Nos gustó mucho la habitación, muy amplia, cama y baño grandes, las piscinas son deliciosas con los chorros de agua. Y los desayunos muy buenos, también la atención de Marlon en recepción y del personal de limpieza.

Cons:

Es un lugar que está diseñado para pasar el día, una vez que se va la gente con pasadía, el hotel muere, literal. No hay ni café gratis ni a la venta, increíble!!

Después, el servicio de lancha es chapucero, a nosotros nos tiraron las maletas bajo la lluvia y están más preocupados por terceros que no sé si son empleados del hotel que de los huéspedes.

Además, es un lugar que no tiene interacción con las comunidades sumamente pobres, realmente duele ver cómo viven los isleños.

Pros:

Acceso a la playa, cercanía con Bocagrande

Cons:

El baño no tenía sifón y al bañarse se retornaban todos los olores de la cañería por lo que era demasiado incómodo y molesto. La habitación tenía sus detalles poco vistosos

Pros:

Eu e o meu namorado gostamos bastante do hotel. Tem uma ótima relação custo benefício. Os quartos são confortáveis. Tem shampoo, condicionador e sabonete a disposição. O local é bem limpo. As toalhas e os lençois são brancos, não encardidos. As piscinas são ótimas e limpas. A praia é agradavél. O café também é muito bom e os funcionários são atenciosos.
