Rooms and views were very pleasing. Do be prepared to walk to the pool and hotel restaurant. Property is super pretty and well maintained. Our room was spacious and well kept by room service each day. The hotels pool is definitely the highlight of the property.

Die Zimmer variieren in ihrer QualitƤt extrem. Aus manchen Zimmern blickt man nur auf die DƤcher der anderen Zimmer. Nur die Suiten sind zu empfehlen. Die Anlage liegt auf einem Berg, dies bedeutet einen anstrengenden Weg zum Pool und Zimmer. Man hƶrt den LƤrm der StraƟe und von den Diskotheken am Ort.

En general el hotel es muy lindo y cĆ³modo, pero le agrandaria la piscina pues muy pequeƱa, y en la banbusa1 habĆ­a olor a caƱerĆ­a, fumigaria con mĆ”s frecuencia para ormigas en las camas....

No vale lo que cuesta. Es la primera vez que en un hotel nada mas llegar, hacen inventario de toallas, servibar, perchas de plastico. Tambien al pedir que nos bajaran las maletas el dĆ­a que salimos, antes de bajar las maletas, realizaron oytra vez el inventario. No sĆ© que tipo de gente se hospeda en Ć©ste hotel, pero no me parece que sea la forma correcta de hacer las cosas. - No habĆ­a un armario en condiciones para poder colgar la ropa. - La papelera del baƱo estaba sucia con restos del huesped anterior. - El grifo de agua caliente del lavabo no fncionaba. Se reportĆ³ dos veces a recepciĆ³n y ni lo arreglaron durante la estancia, ni se nos diĆ³ ningĆŗn tipo de explicaciĆ³n. - La limpieza de las habitaciones bastante mejorable. - las lĆ”mparas en Ć”mbas mesillas dejaron de funcionar ya que los cables hacĆ­an "falso contacto" - La parte positiva es el trato por parte del personal quienes fueron todos muy amables.

Das Nativa lƤsst in Hinblick auf Komfort , Sauberkeit und Ausstattung wenig wĆ¼nsche Ć¼brig. Allerdings kann ich es nich empfehlen da selbst mit Ohrstƶpseln an Schlaf kaum zu denken war. Der LƤrm der Discos in Montanita, der von ca. 22:00- 4:00 anhƤlt, ist fast unertrƤglich. Zudem ist es so hellhƶrig, dass man seine Zimmernachbarn bei normaler KonversationslautstƤrke so gut versteht als StƤnden sie neben einem. Sehr schade, da ansonsten alles Stimmt.
