We stayed there for 2 days, and it was a nice experience. We had 3 kids and an infant, and we felt safe and cared for. My only complaint would be the breakfast options are limited but the omlet was delicious

Best hotel in the area! Beautiful ambience in the evenings with the wooden lamps and the ocean, it gets packed! Really good food - not cheap, though! So, ojo! Try the licuados (jugos naturales) - they're excellent. Breakfast is generous and diverse but wasn't really that tasty IMO. If you are aware that it is a simpler life down at the Caribbean Coast, you can have a wonderful time at that hotel. Staff and receptionists are very responsive to your requests. But don't look to closely into the corners of your room (not super clean).

The restaurant was delicious and should be visited wherever you are staying. The hotel is not appropriate for foreign tourists (no towels for pool, only cold water faucet for bathroom sink, poor repair and dirty building. Staff is lovely and location looks out on dramatic ocean surf.
