Jul 24, 2025Not for international tourists
If you are from the US picture if you will an all inclusive super 8 motel that serves watered down beer and public school cafeteria food oh and the air conditioning in the room maintains the temperature at around 85 degrees Fahrenheit Oh I also forgot to mention that the water from the tap is non potable according to the sign in the bathroom so you will need bottled water for brushing your teeth which to be fair the hotel does provide. The hotel caters to domestic guests and English speaking staff is few and far between. Spend a few extra bucks and stay at the Hyatt Regency down the street. That looked like a first class place

Jul 02, 2025Good and comfortable. Personnel service is excellent!
Comfortable hotel with lots of entertaining activities and good food. Rooms are comfortable and the staff service is more than excellent! It is not a top quality hotel though in case you are looking for one of these.

Not recommended
Awful food, service is zero, there is no will to support customer queries, there is no handicap accesses to pool or restaurant. Rooms are old fashioned, bathroom does not have air extractor. Pool is small. Too expensive and is not worth it. Think twice to come to this place.

Jun 04, 2025You get what you pay for
This hotel will be good, if they update the structure and air conditioning system. On my stay the staff was very friendly. Until I see the improvements. Will not recommend . Rusty ac vents and moldy odors in the rooms, have to make reservations for dinner, leaving you with the Italian restaurant choice which wasn’t that great. The meat and seafood restaurant were always booked. Not enot seats

May 29, 2025Needs renovations and remodeling
The staff was very friendly and attentive, the food was great but the property itself needs alot of remodeling and renovations. The staff at breakfast were very polite and sweet. I visited the property about 11 years ago and everything looked the same. The air conditioner in the rooms need to be replaced the staff had to bring a fan to our room, theres alot of mold around the property and rooms, it can definitely use paint. Some of the rooms get leaks in the bathrooms from the ceiling. We were expecting to get fluffy white towels but the towels are very old. The bed linens and pillows also have to be changed. You used to be able to make dinner reservations with staff but they changed it where you have to use an app which is not user friendly and contains alot of errors, some visitors were not able to make dinner reservations. Tiles in the bathroom are chipping and the faucet to our bathroom would come apart. What saves this hotel is that it is all inclusive and how super sweet and friendly the staff is. Maria and Rosiris from the restaurant and Carlos that helped us with our bags always tended to our needs and made sure to make our stay super comfortable such sweethearted people.
