I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff was incredibly professional and the pools and beach were lovely, I faced numerous issues with room quality that detracted from my stay. It seems the hotel has aged and could use some attentiveness in maintenance. Overall, it had its highs and lows but I appreciated the staff's efforts to resolve my issues.

The resort is a beautiful and quiet escape ideal for couples looking to relax by the beach or pool. The staff was incredibly friendly and the property was well-maintained, but the dining options were disappointing, and the rooms need some updates. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're focused more on the tranquil atmosphere than the food quality.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the comfortable rooms and great service. However, I was a bit disappointed with the dining options later during my visit and the noise from construction outside my room was quite bothersome. Overall, it offers good value for money, but be prepared for some noise if you stay in certain rooms.

Rooms
8.0
I upgraded to an Ocean View Suite which was spacious, clean, and well-furnished with a wonderful double sink vanity and a walk-in shower. The comfortable bed and strong Wi-Fi were a plus. However, there was significant construction noise that made sitting on the balcony impossible during part of my stay.

Most staff members were outstanding, especially Lizbeth, who kept our room impeccably clean and was very attentive to our specific requests.

This hotel is truly a little slice of paradise! The location is beautiful, right by the beach which is perfect for snorkeling or diving. The rooms are quaint and kept immaculately clean by the hardworking staff. The only downside was that securing a lounge chair by the pool can be a bit tricky if you're in a group. Overall, it's an amazing place that I would love to return to.
