Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The property and room is very nice and clean. Beautiful inside the property. The surrounding area is in a poor neighborhood. Breakfast closed up an hour early, leaving scraps to pick through. Got a deep tissue massage at the spa and Brenda did an incredible job.
This was not what I expected based on the website and previous experiences in the general area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was poor and not worth the money. Everything is adequate, but not nice and services are extremely limited. The local neighborhood is not inviting and is a taxi ride away from everything. The tours do not pick up there so, again, a taxi somewhere.

It was ok , I just felt they were robbing us it said breakfast included and the 2nd day I was charged 600 pesos for breakfasts,and the bathroom was horrible it didn’t work !
Weird hotel. Seems like a ghost hotel, all the amenities are there, but very few people…
The room had mold all around the fridge, which smell fishy. Also mold around the AC and a few algae in the private pool.
But the staff was really nice !
Bad experience
Housekeeping knocking the door very hard
Dirty jaccuzzi in the terrace
Staff in the restaurant very rude
Stray dogs around the building
Dirty parking and smelling bad
Hotel room with private pool is a plus. The hotel is short staff so there are limited or delayed services . For example the pool bar and snack areas were never open. The breakfast nice and varied each day which was good
