Such a bad experience!! I'm upset that Expedia supports such a dirty place . No food / expensive/ Heath Hazzard. The room smells/ the terrible/the pool filthy /the seating filthy/the door didn't lock and had a half and inch opening that let all the mostitos in . The tv broken/ no internet . The admin doesn't care . We did not run away because it was late to find a different place.This stablishment should be banned from operating. It's not a hotel . Stay away . We plaid the price already so no one can have such a horrible experience.
No leg room .
Door opening that let all the mostitos in .

The place is undergoing renovation, not dirty but still need improvements. The room was spacious as it was the restroom. The food was great, no complaints, the service was excellent in every-way, the staff was very eager to assist in every-way possible. I would recommend this place and will return for sure, maybe next time they are complete with the renovations. Cheers..

Overall the property was nice. If you do stay there make sure to take a mosquito repellent. I think if the property had a few mosquito zappers it would really help

The place is great, the place is beautiful, great rooms, very beautiful view, great customer service. Except the mosquitos was the only problem in the experience, too much mosquitos in the rooms and would always catch us while sleeping. I think they should do something about it with a mosquito trap. That was the only complaint but other than that the experience was great.
