Reviews and Ratings
Our stay at this hotel was truly delightful. The rooms, although clean and spacious, had a few minor issues, but the lovely staff made up for it. The location is great for the beach, but a bit distant from other amenities. Dining was a mix of excellent and not so great experiences.
I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, but unfortunately, there was an issue with the hot water for most of my stay. The service was a mix of good and not so good experiences, with attentive staff but some lapses in activity organization. The location was lovely for the beach, yet some areas of the hotel needed more maintenance. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of freshly cooked dishes, but there was a disturbing incident with the presence of cockroaches in the bread. The facilities were decently maintained, though improvements could be made in certain aspects.
The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms, with very nice and gentle ladies at the reception. However, the theater bathrooms could use some attention to reach perfection. The location is an additional little paradise in a great context, with beautiful and well-kept surroundings and friendly gardeners. The service is friendly and efficient, highlighted by the attentive staff members who provided exceptional service. The dining experience made me feel like part of the family and added a special touch to my birthday trip.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff at reception were really nice and gentle. However, there was a lack of hot water for a significant portion of our stay, which was frustrating. The location offered a serene and beautiful setting, yet it fell short in some luxury aspects compared to other resorts. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, but service speed could be improved. Overall, a decent stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel has a beautiful garden tended to by hard-working gardeners, with the downside of some outdoor areas needing furniture and glass shards. The service, ranging from receptionists to the gardeners, is approachable and very willing to assist, but encountered some issues at the Privilege Check-in. The location is well taken care of, though some areas are dated and in need of repair, with many friendly gardeners working throughout the day. The dining experience offers a great selection, especially with the buffet options, but faced some challenges like an accusation of theft. The facilities are well-maintained with a mix of positive and negative aspects highlighted.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were conveniently located near the pool, snack bar, and beach, but I had to change rooms three times during my stay. The food lacked variety except on inspection days. The staff were attentive, even offering daily room touch-ups upon request.
The hotel is spread out across 3 blocks, making it a bit inconvenient to get to your room, but once there, the rooms are very clean. The service was a bit slow at times, and they seemed to be playing catch up, although the staff, especially Pepe, were very friendly. The location is beautiful and well-kept, with friendly gardeners around, but the food service could be quicker. The dining experience offered a good variety of food, including local products. The facilities are large and well-maintained, comparable to all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
Our stay at the hotel was overall pleasant with clean and quiet rooms, though we faced a power outage for the first two days. The service was somewhat lacking, with instances of disregard and impoliteness. The location was well-kept and enjoyable but lacked evening entertainment options. The dining experience left much to be desired with poorly cooked food and limited selections.
The hotel offers top-shelf drinks, bright and clean rooms with lovely suite bathrooms, and great cleanliness, albeit slightly outdated. The service was good, despite occasional reminders needed for fresh towels. The location boasts beautiful scenery and friendly gardeners, though food arrival times could be improved. Dining was mostly perfect, with a varied selection, and the facilities were well-maintained and provide a job well in the heat.
