Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed mentions: several guests praise cleanliness, but multiple reviews call out poor room cleaning and hygiene issues in bedrooms—overall slightly below the target.
Service
9.6
Generally strong: many reviews highlight friendly, professional staff (especially breakfast/restaurant teams and a named server), though isolated reports note very poor service or slow responses in extreme cases; overall judged very positive.
Location
9.9
Consistently praised: numerous comments emphasize the hotel is right at/very close to the beach and well located — a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.6
Multiple complaints about old furniture, worn bathrooms, bad mattresses and pillows, noisy rooms (near elevator or neighbors) and AC/TV issues — room quality is a notable weakness.
Amenities
8.9
Amenities such as pool, restaurant, tours and lifts are mentioned positively, though some specific issues appear (cold pool, kettle/tea, limited bottled water); overall slightly above average.
Value for Money
8.4
Mixed: breakfast is often seen as good value, but extra charges (buffet lunch cost, added gratuity) and occasional mismatches in booking expectations reduce perceived value somewhat.
Food and Beverage
9.4
Strong positive consensus on breakfast (variously described as very good/exquisite and varied). Some criticisms for lunch/buffet pricing and occasional menu issues, but overall F&B is a highlight.
Overall Experience
9.6
Predominantly positive guest experiences (great location, breakfast, helpful staff), offset by recurring noise and some cleanliness/room-quality problems; overall stays are rated very favorably by most guests.

Horrible hotel

Pésimo servicio del personal, mucho ruido en habitaciones por ruidos. En habitación de al lado tenían un perro que lo dejaron solo.

Horrible experiencia

Ideal para descansar y disfrutar la playa
Pros:

Un hotel con ubicación privilegiada, a escasos 50 metros sobre la playa. Un desayuno acorde a la categoría del hotel, muy variado y muy bien atendido.
El restaurant tiene una carta buena y variada.( no siempre es la carta) y cuando es buffet también es muy bueno. Para destacar la profesionalidad de todo el personal- sin excepción- aunque se destaca el personal que atienden el desayuno y el restaurant, en especial un mozo ,creo llamado -Alexis-.
Tiene un servicio de tours y taxis. Todo muy bien.

Cons:

Creo que es hora de comenzar el cambio de colchones.
