Hotel Oceano
We were upgraded to sea view for a nominal cost.Staff were friendly and helpful.Room was clean but too small for two friends travelling together.The window blind for the glass door to deck wouldn't roll up so we had to roll up by hand to access deck.

The area the resort is located is beautiful. It is a five star, but the building needs paint & the rooms need a bit of attention. ie rust in tub, drain not flowing properly. The staff are friendly & very attentive!
