The faucets on the sinks were loose and cold water had no pressure , the smell in the room was horrible ,sewer smell . The reception sent a cleaning lady to mop the room to clear the smell , but that obviously didn't help . They said no room available to change today , maybe tomorrow , but never happened . Disappointing .

The place was conveniently located with a beach front, staff was friendly. We had to change rooms as our was NOISY due to some mechanical equipment and were not able to sleep at night. New room was quieter. They do not have towel bars or hooks to hang anything in the newly renovated bathrooms...

I love the ambiance, the proximity to great restaurants and stores. Not to mention that it’s right on the malecon and very reasonable. I’ve been been going there for 30 years. Plenty of nightlife there. Everything is in walking distance.

We were returning guest and were disappointed. The staff members were rude and not interested in serving us at all. We were ignored at breakfast and the service on the beach did not exist.....I have never been so disappointed in a resort.

We love the area. Everyone was kind! We felt safe and will be back! When we go back, we will stay in an ocean view room. On this trip, I accidentally booked a room that was directly on the street side to the east. It wasn’t what we hoped for, but that’s my fault. It was a bit loud at night with the nightclub across the street and to the south. We played hard all day, and the sleeping wasn’t prolblematic
