Disliked: Cleanliness
This little hotel is not old - it’s ok, the restaurant is ok and the staff at the restaurant give great friendly service. There’s really nothing to do next to this little hotel and the biggest downside was that they insisted on playing loud loud music until 2 AM even when there was no one at the restaurant or near the pool it didn’t matter myself and others had to go complain several times consistently to get them to shut it off even around 2 AM. That was the only real negative part of my experience.

El único inconveniente es que están construyendo la carretera y el acceso al hotel está confuso. Podrían detallar mejor la llegada al hotel en estos momentos. Por lo demás todo está muy bien.
