The rooms were clean. Didn’t like that there was no fridge or coffee pot in room and no dresser or table, used ironing board as a counter. Not much English was spoken and it serves was none existent for most of the time. Cleaning staff in the rooms where fantastic. Found that the staff waited on the Spanish speaking people and walked past us unless we actually called them over.

Chilis Pepper, a restaurant next door is excellent. We were unable to charge drinks and food to our room and needed to pay cash for orders we made out near the pool. Inconvenient, but not a deal breaker once we knew about it. There are several nightclubs across the street and the music was extremely loud until 4am on Friday and Saturday nights. It was so loud, it made sleeping for me impossible. My wife was able to sleep through it. However, I would not stay in the hotel again on a Friday or Saturday night.

TBH, I normally don't even write reviews, but I wanted to note for anyone reading: DO NOT STAY HERE! The pictures on Expedia are completely misleading, as is the rating. It is really not even a one-star hotel. Poor staff service, multiple unanswered phone calls to the front desk, a limited restaurant that is closed most of the day, no bar, limited beach access, unable to access Wi-Fi, malfunctioning TV remote, watching them dump mop water into the pool. On top of all that, we had a family emergency that shortened our stay, and the hotel would not refund any of portion of the stay that we mistakenly paid in advance. Expedia was zero help: They couldn't contact the facility either, and said they couldn't help. Don't know why they let the location list on the Expedia site knowing the Star Palace is essentially a sham rip-off. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Motel 6 equivalent, not good for night sleepers

This stay was to witness eclipse totality, and the first 4 nights of the stay were about $300USD (Fri-Mon), While our last 2 nights were $100. Let me be perfectly clear, this hotel is a $50-100 night hotel MAX. It is Motel 6 quality. Had I not had to pay the price gouging for the event, the review would be 1 star higher. But at the price I paid, it fell far short of what I expected. Pros: Excellent staff, very friendly, property is very clean, there is alot of places within a 15 minute walk for shopping and dining. The pool area is nice, comfortable, and the beach is also very nice. Cons: 1) The nightlife in the Golden Zone is ridiculous, multiple loud "social clubs" that blare their music from 10pm to 4am, even if there is literally only 5 people in their pathetic club. Also lots of "cruisers" ie single men, driving the street with giant speakers in their podunk little trucks blaring music until 4am. This hotel might as well be a cardboard box for all it does to keep out the noise. 2) The dining options at the hotel are an absolute joke, and had I paid for the "all inclusive" I would have been livid. The morning Cafe is terrible, the poolside bar/kitchen opens at 11 or 12 or 1 depending on how the staff is feeling that day, the pizza oven is open depending on the one guys schedule (was closed Sunday while we were there) and again even though he starts working by 9am, he doesnt open until 1pm. All this is ridiculous, pool was crowded by 9-10am every day.....

En general el hotel es promedio, las habitaciones son muy sencillas lo bueno es que tienen Smart tv y el internet es gratuito. lo visitamos en temporada baja contratando el todo incluído, Pésima la comida, del bufete es poco lo que está rico, para la pizza solo te dan una rebanada y eso tiene que ir la persona a pedirla, las bebidas es un vasito pequeño y el agua te la dan caliente . Llevamos automóvil y era un problema el salir o entrar del estacionamiento pues al parecer el guardia de adentro es el mismo de afuera entonces tocaba ir a recepción a qué lo ubicarán para que nos pudiera abrir, los elevadores muy pequeños y y nunca te dejan papel más que el primer día
