The hotel is located in an isolated area, away from amenities, but the beach is well-maintained. The rooms were very clean but in need of updates. The service was a mix of friendly and unwelcoming behavior. The dining options had limited hours. Overall, the hotel offers a peaceful but basic experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, providing a cozy haven during my visit. However, some aspects of the rooms need an update and felt a bit basic. The staff's service was a hit or miss; while some were great people, others gave me a dirty look for not speaking Spanish. The location seemed remote but well-kept, with not much around except the hotel itself. The dining options were limited, but the food was okay. The facilities were decent, but some areas could use improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not up to par, they were quite basic and in need of an update, which was disappointing. On the bright side, they were very clean. The service was a mixed bag, with some great people being kind and respectful, but others gave me a dirty look because of a language barrier. The location was good, although I felt a bit unsure about safety, and there were some issues with cleanliness on the beach. The dining experience was just OK, nothing special. Overall, the facilities were adequate, but not outstanding.
My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is superb, right by the beach, and the service, especially at the beach, was top-notch. However, the room I stayed in was quite outdated and in need of some serious upgrades. Dining options were limited, but the fresh salads were a nice touch.
