MUY BUENO!!!!!!!!!!
Pros:

After 6 days of traveling and spending time in Medellin and Cartagena I was very excited to finally arrive at this hotel that was so peaceful. The town was a short walk along the beach but very dusty since they are doing some road repairs and building. Our room was large with a big bathroom as well. The restaurant is awesome with a view of the ocean while we dined. The Breakfast that was included was Great! I had a few other meals that were priced resonably. I enjoyed having the pool right outside my room for early morning swimming. The ocean view was excellent!!! I appreciated the hammocks that were in the shade with an ocean view. The staff was very helpful, especially the manager. I loved that I could practice my spanish with the staff. I would definitely go back there and recommend it to others. It can be quite a romantic getaway!

Cons:

Our room had a light that was motion activated but we really needed it to stay on at times. It was located in the room where the fridge and shelves for our clothes was.

Pros:

El hotel tiene muy buena ubicación y buenas instalaciones sin embargo las mismas están descuidadas dejando verlo como antiguo, aunque éramos casi los únicos en el hotel el servicio fue regular.

Cons:

El baño de la habitación muy descuidado, la llave del lavamanos es muy alta y uno se moja, el servicio del personal no fue tan amable, hace falta otro bar y el servicio del personal agua de los hinodoros no eran los mejores.
