The hotel is conveniently located, offering easy access to town along the beach. The rooms are modern and have beautiful views. The service is attentive and friendly. However, the facilities are in need of refurbishment and the immediate reception area can be crowded. The dining experience includes tasty Mexican dishes, but some areas require improvement.
