the concierge was very resourceful. he guided us on tours, places to eat, and shops. emanuel, the bell boy, and gabriel, the concierge, were helpful. the front desk was accommodating and responsive. the clubhouse facilities had many options. vegan options were available! vegetarian options were also provided. all varieties of meat were labeled.
the hotel is old. it needs a lot of maintenance. things like the carpet are worn. the carpet in my room had many stains. there is a lot of mold near the air conditioning and also in several places in the bathroom. it gives you the feeling of being in a sleazy room.

the pool felt great. the view was fantastic from my room. the beach felt almost private, i loved that. breakfast spread had a good variety. the service felt great all around. i enjoyed my stay a lot, it was worth it.
the noise from a nearby club continued late into the night. it was until 6 in the morning. it made sleeping difficult and impacted my rest. this issue should be addressed.
