Crear location and view, very clean and affordable. TV not working , Pool was closing very early, for maintenance, next day they open it very late, it was really dissaponting.very pretty Pool, but i don’t think that i’ll book again here.
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful view of the ocean. Terrible sleeping conditions. Should warn people before making reservations about the noise in front of the hotel. Someone that doesn’t know about the night life will not enjoy the music until 3am.
It was the second time I stayed there. The cousin of the owner his name is Mel is absolutely wonderful. Everybody is wonderful. They are very friendly. I will definitely stay there again. That's my go to place because it's right there in the middle of everything
En la descripción decía que la cabaña contaba con 2 camas matrimoniales, y en realidad son 2 matrimoniales y una individual. Pudimos haber reservado sólo una en vez de dos.
Estaría mucho mejor si las cabañas tuvieran aire acondicionado, y si pusieran cortina para la regadera, ya que se moja todo el baño al bañarse. Quizás otro espejo además del que está en el baño no estaría de más.
Está muy bien ubicada. También puede mejorar la actitud del área de recepción.

Everything was good and clean. Close to everything you need
Habitación extremadamente oscura, ventilador no funciona, se fue la luz por mas de 15 hrs sin tener un Olán en el hotel, no hubo agua por aproximadamente 5 hrs y no nos daban solución, por la noche que no había nada abierto pedimos agua en recepción y a pesar de tener garrafón nos la negaron, la mucama se molestó por que entregamos la toalla mojada cuando entregamos la habitación. El personal de recepción no sabe cómo dar soluciones a ningún problema del hotel

The staff was extremely nice and helpful but the condition of the room was not as expected. No hot water in the shower, blown light bulb in the bathroom, toilet leaked every time we flushed it causing it to stink like sewage and cauing my feet to get wet with gross water. Doors to the balcony didn't shut properly due to doors being on uneven hinges. The balcony was not clean at all. The one good thing was the view.
On arrival I was checked into a windowless room with a noisy A/C unit outside the door. The staff is friendly and I was moved to a courtyard room the next day. The rooms with a sea view are very noisy with two big night clubs on the beach just opposite the hotel.
