Not the hotels fault, but that road leading to the hotel sucks it’s really bad and i was in a pickup truck . Very bumpy and wild. Not fun at all . Hotel is 2 stars at best. However staff was great 5 stars to them , very attentive and courteous . They did the best they could to make us happy and that made a big difference .

Note: it is far from the beach. You will need a taxi to take you to and from the beach. Which is around $20 round trip. All the restaurants and stores are at the beach. BUT other than that, the resort is amazing. I’d say spend a day at the beach because that’s all you really need. The resort has a nice pool, bar, skatepark, gym and restaurant. The room is comfortable. Nice shower, cozy bed. AC. No bugs or dirt.

I will be very objective. Room was ok. Beds were comfortable and clean. Shower and sink barely water coming out. I had to ask for maintenance to come and check it out. They did their best: very run down it seems like ut was a wonderful property back in the day but it felt like was totally abandoned. Staff looked unhappy. They never greeted us. I had to keep asking how are you.!! Breakfast was ok but felt understaffed and overwhelmed.

Good Stay

The stay was great, I had a blast with my family and the rooms were comfy, although I do have to point out that my Villa had an issue with one of the doors, the lock that should've kept one of the doors close was broken or something, thing is, it was open. Thankfully the villa had 2 bedrooms that coud be locked from the inside, but it is a downside.
