Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were clean with good maid service, but a bit noisy due to outside activity. The entertainment was lacking compared to previous stays. The service was great, staff members were helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the town. The dining options were limited but satisfactory for breakfast. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was pretty good, with clean and comfortable rooms overall. The service was fantastic, always friendly and attentive. The location was convenient for exploring the town, though there were some noise issues at night. The dining options could have been better, but the facilities were well-kept and enjoyable.
I stayed in the south wing just above the pool bar with a beautiful view of the beach and small park to the north. While the room had a sewage-like smell and bugs all over the bed, the attentive service provided by the front desk, restaurants, bars, and pool/beach waiters made my holiday truly memorable. The location was fantastic, being close enough to walk to the Malcom and offering great views, making it a relaxing spot after exploring town. The dining was delicious but lacked some basic western options I craved in the morning. Overall, the hotel has its charms but also room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was perfect for beach lovers and close to various dining options, the room was a bit disappointing with some wear and tear. The service was exceptional, making my vacation memorable, but there were some hiccups with the transportation service. The dining was generally good but lacked variety. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with ocean views, but some areas are a bit dark. The service is very friendly and helpful, starting with Paul at the reception desk. The location is fantastic, close to the city and within walking distance of various attractions. The dining experience is surprisingly good, offering authentic Spanish choices. The facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great for exploring the area and had convenient access to local shops and the airport. However, the room assignment was inconvenient, and the service, although welcoming, seemed restricted by management.
