Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We reserved a room with a king size bed and deck with ocean view. What we didn't realize was these rooms were in the old part of the hotel, rooms are very worn, bathrooms were rough, no hot water and it was on the main street. Very loud at night - the music from the clubs went on til 3, 4 5am! We were offered a different room, which is in the new part of the hotel, however there were no rooms with king size beds available, and the rooms were tiny. There wasn't even enough room for an extra chair! We were sold a deluxe room, and offered a significantly reduced room in its place. The staff were wonderful throughout our stay, but the property itself needs some work.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I paid 3 times what it should charge. Staff is unfriendly, pool is disgusting and the interior is about what I've paid $25-$50 a night in other similar locations. RUn down and not that clean. I will never stay here again. If it was $50 a night instead of $140 i would not complain. Better to spend more here in Puerto for nicer stays. If you are a big wave surfer and want to stay in walking distance from Zicatela beach then go ahead.

Liked: Cleanliness
This hotel is in a nice location. But the water pressure in the shower is almost nonexistent and the water never gets really hot. Small things were found broken when we arrived. Like the toilet paper holder, towel holder and door to the dryer. The freezer in the refrigerator is frozen over and cannot be used. Do not expect a quiet night here as people party all night long on the adjoining beach.
