Can’t beet the free breakfast, the rooms are very spacious I travel with wife and two kids and having three beds was great. The pool was good to cool down. Overall is great for the price. The beach is a minute walk the waves are very high but we drove to near by beaches which are more calm to swim. Mantas beach, Herradura beach and Playa Blanca. The only negative I see is there is no pool towels you will have to pay.
