Very clean rooms! Security and front desk available from early morning to late at night. Pool area was also big and clean. Only downfall is parking is across the street but they have a guard on duty. Cars were safe as well.

The room was vert clean and nice, front staff were nice. Only problem was one very rude staff member at the bar near the pool,short,male,dark. I ordered 2 sodas and a long island iced tea. I paid in pesos and gave him a tip in pesos as well. He then responded in spanish that giving a tip in pesos is offensive and gave the tip back to me. That kind of ruined our vibe and we left the pool. Other than that we had a great stay.
