Este hotel es excelente, los empleados son muy amables y bien dispuestos. El único detalle fue que el aire no estaba enfriando como debería, pedimos cambio de habitación y nos movieron, pero el problema seguía. En cuanto a todo lo demás, fue espectacular.

En general estamos muy satisfechos fue exelente todo la atencion y dedicacion del personal es exesional. En lo unico que tienen que mejorar un poco es en la calidad y variedad de las comidas.en el bufe.Pero se puede califilicar tambien como bastante bueno.solo le falta la variedad,casi todos los dias es lo mismo. todo lo demas es impecable,pasamos dias maravillosos. las excursiones muy buenas, las actividades del hotel amenas. las habitaciones son confortables lo unico que les falta es un cubrecamas para que le de un toque mas elegante a la habitacion,la cama asi ,como que se ve muy pobre.

The food here is awful. Even at the restaurants but the worst part by far was the drinks! Tasted like highschool drinks with crappy alcohol and bad mixes. Beach was nice and pools were nice but that’s the only good thing I have to say
