I very much like this hotel but please be aware the rooms next to the main road are noisy. The road noise throughout the night is significant if you are in certain rooms. Check-in staff need to give more thought to when these rooms are assigned, especially if the hotel is not full. Otherwise this is a great hotel.

We were not happy. The hotel asked us to leave after 2 days because my wife was sick. We booked 4 nights and the hotel is not responding to expedia re refund. They owe us $500. I have been staying at the hotel for 7 years and they treated me horribly. The staff memebers scream at each other and the dominicans jump in the pool in their t-shirts. Please reach out to the hotel again to administer thr refund.

its very well situated... that said 3 days later our whole stuff still smells like humid, the floors in the room were filthy, the internet was super bad, the A/C couldn't keep up with the heat so it just rattled ALL night so we could'sleep because of the heat, the noise and the smell.... I recommend you go elsewhere
