There was a lot of construction noise, on units close to mine between 8 a.m., and 10 p.m. I couldn't rest during the day. I finally got the nerve to ask for another room far away from the construction. My original room should not have been offered to any travellers. Not impressed at all.

Nice hotel right in the beach. Beautiful view and warm lovely pool. Served us a light breakfast every day. Most importantly was its great location just a couple of blocks from Malecon bay.
Here’s a polished rewrite of your review:
⸻
The room and all common areas were very clean, and the staff was excellent. The location is great—close to many restaurants and just a few blocks from the Malecón. The beach area is a bit rocky, but the pool definitely makes up for it. The restaurant prices were reasonable, and it’s a good spot for food to relax by the pool. Overall, no complaints at all about this hotel.
Room was good . Staff were good . Pool was crowded and very noisy . Very loud. parties until 2am . Also very loud domestic disputes until 3am with no intervention from security or staff .
La ubicación estaba bien por que está en el malecón, los cuartos ya están viejos y tienen cierto olor, el A/C se descompuso y nos tuvimos que cambiar de cuarto, el baño también viejo muy antiguo, la plancha tenía que pedirla en recepción dejar una identificación y solo te la prestaban 1hr cosa que me pareció tediosa.
No se si volvería a llegar ahí, el desayuno nunca estaban puntuales siempre ponían el buffet 10mins aprox después y por ej yo que tenía tours agendados donde pasaban por mí pues sí me tenía estresada que no estuviera el buffet listo.
The room was great! We had a family room, with a king bed in one room and 3 singles in the other and a fridge. Balconies in both rooms, one city view and one ocean view that we were not expecting. Unfortunately the city view balcony was covered with a large banner. When we enquired about it they said it would be coming down in the next couple of days. It was still up when we left. We are budget minded travellers and I would say this is the best hotel we have stayed in for the price in pv.
