"The location was very ideal, the amenities were also great. The food was okay nothing to really talk about. The rooms were spacious, nice and clean. The hotel grounds were upkept really nice. The views from the terrances and pool were amazing. Some staff were really friendly (The front desk and the waiters). However, there were some staff that were very dismissive (not sure if it is a culture thing since we didn't speak fluent spanish)."

"I LOVED THIS PLACE. I’m so glad I found this place and chose to stay here. It’s minutes to the beach and it’s so safe to walk around at night. I’m a solo female traveler and there was never a moment I felt unsafe. I booked the room with hot water and honestly, I could’ve been ok without because I used the outdoor bamboo shower to rinse off the sand and the water felt amazing. The property is so cute ! The breakfast was delicious. They have a bar and restaurant and the food is great if you choose to have a night cap there, if not, plenty of great restaurants steps away. I used the pool and it was so cute. There’s a convenient store couple doors down for water and drinks. They close the gate at night so it’s secured. The staff were all so friendly and happy ! I’m going to come back and stay here again. Thank you staff !"
